TOKYO -- As South Korea attempts to score a breakthrough with the North via Olympic diplomacy, Japan and the U.S. are already looking beyond the athletic events to contemplate the next step in containing the rogue state.
In their first meeting of high-ranking officials in two years in Tuesday, the North agreed to send athletes to the Pyeongchang Winter Olympics next month in South Korea, raising hopes for further dialogue. And the U.S. appears willing to support Seoul's efforts for now.
