U.S. Secretary of State Rex Tillerson isn't getting too carried away.<br /> Tillerson, speaking on Thursday while on his first trip to Africa,... said while the signals from Pyongyang may be positive,... direct negotiations are still a long way off.<br />He noted how President Trump said there were positive signs coming out of North Korea.<br /> In terms of direct talks,... Tillerson said the first step should be "talks about talks."<br />He added that Washington needs to be "very clear-eyed and realistic" about the prospects. <br />His comments come after South Korea's Presidential office said the Kim Jong-un regime "clearly stated" it's willing to discuss denuclearization with the U.S. <br />
