WASHINGTON, July 24 (Reuters) - The U.S. State Department has not had any substantive communication with North Korea since U.S. soldier Travis King crossed into the North last week, State Department spokesperson Matthew Miller told reporters on Monday. A U.S. flag hangs on the porch and a "Proud parent of a U.S. Army soldier" sticker adorns the car outside the home of 23-year-old Private Travis King's mother in Racine, Wisconsin, U.S., July 19, 2023. REUTERS/Eric Cox/File PhotoMiller said Washington has made outreach to ascertain the whereabouts of King and to ascertain information about his safety, but have not received any response. King, a U.S. Army private serving in South Korea, sprinted into North Korea on July 18 while on a tour of the Demilitarized Zone on the inter-Korean border.

TOKYO, July 20 (Reuters) - The United States is actively engaged in ensuring the return of an American soldier who had crossed into North Korea, a U.S. official said on Thursday, ahead of a trilateral meeting with Japan and South Korea on countering North Korean threats. The U.S. is working hard to ascertain information on Private Travis King's wellbeing and engaged in "ensuring his safety and return," U.S. Special Envoy for North Korea Sung Kim said at the opening of the meeting. On Tuesday, King made an unauthorised crossing into North Korea, the same day a U.S. nuclear-armed ballistic missile submarine visited South Korea for the first time since the 1980s.

☆ A tourist thought a US soldier's mad dash into North Korea was so 'stupid' it had to be a TikTok prank until the guards started shouting 'get that guy'

A woman who saw a US soldier run into North Korea from South Korea said she thought it was a prank. Sarah Leslie told the AP that soldier Travis King's stunt was "the most stupid thing you could do." King is believed to be in North Korean custody after he crossed a border into the country. King, who is now believed to be in North Korean custody, "willfully and without authorization" crossed from South Korea over the heavily fortified border into North Korea, US Secretary of Defense Lloyd Austin said. "I probably only saw him running for like a few seconds and that's all it would have taken to get across the board," Leslie told Reuters.
