I would say that King would want to discuss the Viet Nam war with his "fellow Americans and not Hanoi or the NLF because they were totally capable of fighting the US and it was internal opposition from within the US which he was concerned with to voice strong disapproval with American aggression in Viet Nam so his "fellow Americans" were who he could have influence over.
