SEOUL - North Korea’s vice foreign minister said on Tuesday the United States will face “undesired consequences” if it fails to present a new position in denuclearization talks by the end of the year, state media reported.
But Trump and U.S. Secretary of State Mike Pompeo have brushed aside the deadline, calling for Kim to take action on his pledge to denuclearize after years of pursuing nuclear and rocket programs in defiance of U.N. Security Council resolutions.] “If the United States fails to reestablish its position within the timeline we gave, it will see truly undesired consequences.”
The North had been seeking a deal to ease sanctions in exchange for dismantling some of its nuclear facilities, but Trump called for a “big deal” in which sanctions would be lifted if Pyongyang handed over all its nuclear weapons to the United States. Pompeo reiterated on Monday that he was still in charge of the U.S. negotiating team when asked about North Korea’s calls for him to be dropped from the talks.
In answer to a question in the Monday interview, Pompeo said he did not know whether a third summit could take place as soon as the summer.
