US Secretary of State Pompeo in Pyongyang for nuclear talks
2018-07-07
[PRESSTV] US Secretary of State Mike Pompeo has arrived in North Korea to press Pyongyang for a “more detailed commitment” to denuclearization following Kim Jong-un’s historic summit with President Donald Trump.

The top US diplomat met with Kim Yong-chol, a senior North Korean official who, along with Pompeo, played a key role in arranging last month’s meeting in Singapore.

Pompeo is accompanied by North Asia experts from the State Department, CIA spy agency and National Security Council and is due to hold talks with senior officials in Pyongyang on Friday and Saturday over denuclearization as well as return of the remains of US troops missing during the Korean war in 1950s.

Ahead of his visit, Pompeo tweeted: “Looking forward to continuing our work toward the final, fully verified denuclearization of #DPRK, as agreed to by Chairman Kim. Good to have press along for the trip.”

#1  'High-level talks between the United States and North Korea appeared to hit a snag on Saturday as Pyongyang said a visit by U.S. Secretary of State Mike Pompeo had been “regrettable.”

North Korea also accused Washington of making “gangster-like” demands to pressure the country into abandoning its nuclear weapons.'
