US stands ready for negotiations with Russia, China, and North Korea to reduce the nuclear threat - Biden

US President Joe Biden has expressed the country's readiness to engage in negotiations with Russia, China, and North Korea to reduce the nuclear threat. Such talks could occur without preconditions, according to the White House.

The statement from the American president came during a greeting to the Nobel Peace Prize winners.

"The US stands ready to engage in talks with Russia, China, and North Korea without preconditions to reduce the nuclear threat. There is no benefit to our nations or the world to forestall progress on reducing nuclear arsenals," Biden stated.

The US president added that reducing the nuclear threat is important not despite the dangers of today’s world but precisely because of them.
