Since 2018, the United States and the DPRK are negotiating the denuclearization of North Korea. US President Donald Trump declared that it was ready to remove sanctions from the republic in case of agreement on this issue. However, the last negotiations in October 2019 failed, which were announced in Pyongyang, but denied in the United States. In December 2020, the DPRK reported that they did not need further dialogue with the United States on the issue of denuclearization: Pyongyang refuses to reduce the reserves of nuclear weapons unilaterally.
