Pompeo visit scrapped after belligerent letter from North Korea
[DAWN] US Secretary of State Mike Pompeo's planned trip to  North Korea last weekend was cancelled after he received what US officials deemed to be a belligerent letter from Pyongyang, The Washington Post reported.The precise contents of the letter, which came from Kim Yong Chol, vice chairman of North Korea's ruling party, were not known, the Post said. Pompeo received it on Friday and showed it to President Donald Trump ...New York real estate developer, described by Dems as illiterate, racist, misogynistic, and what ever other unpleasant descriptions they can think of, elected by the rest of us as 45th President of the United States... . They concluded it was belligerent enough to call off the visit, the Post said late Monday, quoting two administration officials. In pulling the plug on the visit, Trump tweeted that he had not seen sufficient progress toward Pyongyang denuclearising. Trump acted amid independent reports that North Korea has done little or nothing to roll back its nuclear programme, despite promises made at a historic summit in June with Kim PudgeJong-un ...the overweight, pouty-looking hereditary potentate of North Korea. Pudge appears to believe in his own divinity, but has yet to produce any loaves and fishes, so his subjects remain malnourished... Trump also blasted China for not doing enough to help push denuclearisation, but left open the possibility of a Pompeo trip to Pyongyang when the US-China trading relationship is "resolved." China on Tuesday rejected the "completely irresponsible" accusation that Beijing was not doing enough. Posted by: Fred 2018-08-29 |
