WASHINGTON - U.S. Secretary of State Mike Pompeo said on Wednesday he was hopeful denuclearization talks would resume between North Korea and the United States soon, in spite of repeated North Korean missile tests and the lengthening delay in restarting the talks.
President Donald Trump and North Korean leader Kim Jong Un agreed at a June 30 meeting to resume talks between working-level officials stalled since a failed summit in Hanoi in February. Since then, North Korea has conducted a series of short-range missiles tests. North Korea has repeatedly tested short-range ballistic missiles and warned of a possible end to its freeze of nuclear and long-range missile tests in place since 2017. Trump has repeatedly held up that freeze as evidence of the success of more than a year of engagement with Kim.
“We watched the actions they are taking, the actions that are taking place inside North Korea,” Pompeo said. “And we are mindful that when we came in there was nuclear testing taking place.
