My Lords, President Trump argued that there should be a formal ending to the Korean War, which actually came to an end with a ceasefire.

My Lords, we are in regular dialogue with the US and our international partners on the subject of the DPRK. As for the actual detail of what has been discussed, in particular the matter that the noble Lord raises, I am not aware that this has been raised as yet.
