North Korea says it may suspend nuclear talks with 'gangster-like' U.S. and resume missile testing
SEOUL - North Korea is considering suspending talks with the United States and may rethink a ban on missile and nuclear tests unless Washington makes concessions, a senior diplomat said on Friday, according to news reports from the North's capital.
Choe said Pompeo and national security adviser John Bolton"created the atmosphere of hostility and mistrust and, therefore, obstructed the constructive effort for negotiations between the supreme leaders of North Korea and the United States", TASS quoted Choe as saying. But, she added:"Personal relations between the two supreme leaders are still good and the chemistry is mysteriously wonderful."
Kim had committed multiple times to Trump in Hanoi that he would not to resume nuclear or missile testing, Pompeo said."That's Chairman Kim's word. We have every expectation he will live up to that commitment." "They're putting down a marker, saying which way things are headed if nothing changes," Pollack, of the James Martin Center for Nonproliferation Studies in Monterey, California, said.
