The "US is willing to talk with North Korea" has been US policy for the past nine years. Nothing has changed there at all. The US and North Korea have maintained "back channel communications" in New York for the past 26 years, currently used only by Rex Tüllerson.

North Korea described Mike Pence as "haughty and arrogant for not initiating a conversation" with the North Korean leaders sitting 6 feet behind him. That's not a warming and neither did they attempt to communicate either.

The only new development is both parties were disinclined to be seen communicating in public, which your local Conese media must have been ordered to playi up as "new horizons" or "fresh sprouts".

Historically the U.S. has relied on its oceans instead of diplomacy. Only in the recent age of ICBMs has diplomacy become important. Unfortunately, U.S. diplomatic skills are two hundred years behind.
