A meeting with North Korean leader Kim Jong Un is not among the options U.S. President Joe Biden currently plans to pursue in diplomacy with Pyongyang, White House spokeswoman Jen Psaki said Monday.

"That is not his intention," Psaki told a press conference when asked whether "sitting with" Kim is part of what Biden had called "some form of diplomacy" he would be ready to engage in, even after North Korea launched two ballistic missiles into the Sea of Japan on Thursday.

North Korea said a day later that it test-fired new tactical guided projectiles.

Secretary of State Antony Blinken said Monday that the "destabilizing ballistic missile launches are subject to our condemnation," reiterating the U.S. position that the launches violated multiple U.N. Security Council resolutions.

He also noted that the United States and its two key allies in Asia -- Japan and South Korea -- are united in their commitment to "standing up against these provocations and advancing the denuclearization of the (Korean) Peninsula."

"What we're seeing from Pyongyang in terms of these provocations does nothing to shake the resolve of our three countries, along with allies and partners around the world, to approach North Korea from a position of strength in order to diminish the threat that it poses to the region and beyond," he said at an online press conference organized by the New York Foreign Press Center.

The Biden administration has been emphasizing the need for the three countries to improve their cooperation, which has been overshadowed by the fraught relationship between Tokyo and Seoul.

U.S. Ambassador to the United Nations Linda Thomas-Greenfield, who also attended the press conference, said the Biden administration is looking at "additional actions" the United Nations may take in response to the recent tests.

The latest ballistic missile tests by Pyongyang were the first to occur during the Biden administration, which is currently continuing its review of North Korea policy.

Past U.S. administrations have sought to denuclearize North Korea to no avail, including Biden's predecessor Donald Trump who engaged in unprecedented summit diplomacy with the North Korean leader.

Psaki said Biden's "approach would be quite different," but did not elaborate.
