WASHINGTON, Oct. 1 (Yonhap) -- White House press secretary Jenn Psaki on Friday reiterated U.S. commitment to engage with North Korea, saying the U.S. is prepared to discuss a "full range of issues" with the North.

Psaki made the remark after North Korean leader Kim Jong-un accused the U.S. of harboring a hostile intent toward the North.

"We remain prepared to discuss the full range of issues," Psaki said when asked about Kim's speech at a recent parliamentary meeting.

In his speech on Wednesday (Seoul time), the North Korean leader argued the U.S.' hostile policy toward the North has not changed eight months after the new Joe Biden administration took office, while calling the Biden administration's outreaches to Pyongyang for dialogue "a petty trick for deceiving the international community and hiding its hostile acts."

Psaki noted the North has yet to respond to U.S. overtures.

"We've made specific proposals for discussion with the North Koreans, but have not received a response to date," she said in a press briefing.

The White House press secretary also said her country would support dialogue between the two Koreas.
