He's playing games.
Quoting here: "If the Americans concede a little bit, we will also make some concessions, whether this is in one to one talks, or within the six party talks, whatever."
I think he is up to his old tricks of trying to drive wedges. The S. Koreans and Chinese will now say "SEE! USA, don't be so harsh on KJI, he is showing flexibility." Oldest trick in the book. Watch the Chinese and South Koreans come out in the next hour or so and say these things, driving further wedges and making it US/Japan in it only and together.
"The S. Koreans and Chinese will now say "SEE! USA, don't be so harsh on KJI, he is showing flexibility."
