The White House said Friday that its goal remains the complete denuclearisation of the Korean peninsula.
US policy will see a calibrated, practical approach that is open to and will explore diplomacy with North Korea, Mr Biden s press secretary Jen Pskai told reporters.
Ms Psaki gave little indication of what kind of diplomatic initiative this could entail, but suggested that Mr Biden had learned from the experience of previous administrations, who have struggled for decades to deal with the dictatorship in North Korea or, in recent years, its growing nuclear arsenal.
She said Washington would not focus on achieving a grand bargain, apparently referring to the kind of dramatic over-arching deal that former president Donald Trump initially suggested was possible when he met with North Korea s leader.

Seoul:
North Korea branded US diplomacy spurious on Sunday, dismissing the idea of talks with Washington a day after the Biden administration said it was open to diplomatic negotiations on denuclearization, state media reported.
Diplomacy was a spurious signboard for the United States to cover up its hostile acts, the North Korean foreign ministry said in a statement run by the KCNA news agency.
It also warned President Joe Biden that he had made a big blunder with his outdated stance towards the country.

WASHINGTON, May 2, 2021 (BSS/AFP) – North Korea branded US diplomacy “spurious” on Sunday, dismissing the idea of talks with Washington a day after the Biden administration said it was open to diplomatic negotiations on denuclearization, state media reported.
Diplomacy was a “spurious signboard” for the United States to “cover up its hostile acts,” the North Korean foreign ministry said in a statement run by the KCNA news agency.
It also warned President Joe Biden that he had made a “big blunder” with his “outdated” stance towards the country.
In a separate statement also run by KCNA, the foreign ministry accused Biden of insulting Kim Jong-Un, and added: “We have warned the US sufficiently enough to understand that it will get hurt if it provokes us.”
Bidenâs speech was âintolerableâ and âa big blunder,â Kwon said.
âHis statement clearly reflects his intent to keep enforcing the hostile policy toward the DPRK as it had been done by the US for over half a century,â he said, using the initials for North Koreaâs official name.
Now that Bidenâs policy has become clear, North Korea âwill be compelled to press for corresponding measures, and with time the US will find itself in a very grave situation,â he concluded.
In a separate statement, a foreign ministry spokesman accused Washington of insulting the dignity of the countryâs supreme leadership by criticising North Koreaâs human rights situation.
