Recent Developments:

On July 2, 2022, the United States and North Korea held their first high-level talks in years, with US Secretary of State Antony Blinken and North Korean Foreign Minister Choe Son-hui meeting in Panmunjom, South Korea. The talks focused on the denuclearization of the Korean Peninsula and the US-North Korea relationship.
In June 2022, the United States and South Korea conducted joint military exercises, which North Korea condemned as a "provocation" and a "reckless" move.
In May 2022, North Korea launched a series of ballistic missiles, including an intercontinental ballistic missile (ICBM), which the US and South Korea condemned as a "serious threat" to regional security.

Background:

The United States and North Korea have been at odds for decades, with the US imposing economic sanctions and trade restrictions on North Korea in response to its nuclear weapons program and human rights abuses.
In 2017, North Korea conducted a series of nuclear tests and ballistic missile launches, which led to increased tensions with the US and other countries.
In 2018, US President Donald Trump and North Korean leader Kim Jong-un held a historic summit in Singapore, where they signed a joint statement committing to work towards denuclearization of the Korean Peninsula.
However, since then, the US and North Korea have made little progress on denuclearization, and tensions have remained high.
