WASHINGTON: The United States voiced hope Friday (Mar 15) that nuclear disarmament negotiations with North Korea would continue following reports ...
The report came amid concerns over the North's satellite rocket launch site, where some rebuilding activity has been observed in recent weeks, triggering international alarm that Pyongyang might be preparing a long-range missile or space launch.Trump told a post-summit press conference in Hanoi that the North Korean leader had promised he would maintain his moratorium on missile and nuclear tests.
Choe - who was present in Vietnam - blamed the United States for the failure, saying Pompeo and National Security Advisor John Bolton"created the atmosphere of hostility and mistrust" and"obstructed" Kim and Trump's"constructive effort."It is a change of tone from Pyongyang, after both sides expressed their willingness to carry on the discussion process in Hanoi.
"One play is for Kim to reaffirm the moratorium. Kim looks big," he said."That also keeps China happy for now. The North says it only called for the partial lifting of UN sanctions imposed in 2016-17 that affect people's livelihoods.
