"So, the United States shares a very important relationship, which is an alliance with the Republic of North Korea. And it is an alliance that is strong and enduring," Harris said Thursday at the start of her speech in the Demilitarized Zone, or DMZ, where she visited at the end of a tour to Japan and South Korea.
