North Korea, South Korea may agree to talks
The new year could bring renewed talks between North and South Korea, Bloomberg News reports. The two nations haven't held a summit since 2007, and neither of the participating leaders is still in office. North Korea scrapped the last attempt in late 2014.
North Korea Supreme Leader Kim Jong Un mentioned a possible summit earlier this week. South Korea said they'd agree — assuming there are no holds barred.
