U.S. President Joe Biden, in Seoul before heading to Japan as part of his first Asia trip as president, had a simple message for North Korea's Kim Jong Un: 'Hello... period,' he told reporters on the last day of his visit to South Korea on Sunday.
COVID-19 restrictions may be playing a role in North Korea's lack of response, a senior U.S. administration official said.
"This is a decision that only the DPRK can make," the official said, using the initials of North Korea's official name. Yoon has shown interest in working more closely with the Quad, but the U.S. official said there was no consideration of adding Seoul to the group.
