US Secretary of State Mike Pompeo downplays the possibility of another summit between President Donald Trump and North Korea's Kim Jong-un, saying denuclearisation talks need 'a willing partner'
US Secretary of State Mike Pompeo said"the North Koreans have given mixed signals," choosing to engage in a way that can not bring any solutions.
Pompeo’s comments during a forum in Washington on Wednesday followed repeated North Korean statements insisting it would no longer gift Trump high-profile meetings he could boast as foreign policy achievements when it’s not being substantially rewarded in return. Trump and Kim have met three times since embarking on high-stakes nuclear diplomacy in 2018, beginning with their meeting in Singapore where they issued vague vows for a nuclear-free Korean Peninsula without describing when and how it would occur.
