Nuclear talks between the US and North Korea have seemingly broken down once again, and the two sides have conflicting stories on the matter.
North Korea on Sunday accused the US of"misleading" the public on the status of nuclear talks a day after discussions between the two sides in Stockholm broke down within just hours following an eight-month stalemate.
"We have no intention to hold such sickening negotiations as what happened this time before the US takes a substantial step," a North Korean Foreign Ministry representative was quoted as saying in a state news report cited by The Wall Street Journal. North Korea's top nuclear envoy, Kim Myong Gil, on Saturday said the meeting"failed to live up to our expectations and broke down."In a statement, the State Department said comments from the North Korean delegation"do not reflect the content or the spirit of today's 8 1/2 hour discussion." The statement said the US"brought creative ideas and had good discussions" with its North Korean counterparts.
Story continuesAmid the denuclearization talks, Trump has taken to boasting about what he characterizes as a strong relationship with North Korean leader Kim Jong Un, widely considered one of the most repressive rulers in the world. But their publicly amicable relationship has done little to expedite the nuclear disarmament of the Korean Peninsula, nor have any of their three meetings.
