At the same time the United States doesn't even have an ambassador to South Korea. The past Secretary of State was completely ineffective, and currently the United States does not have a Secretary of State.

Instead, it seems the leader of North Korean recently made a trip to China. That is most likely what caused this to happen.

The US has had zero part in this.
