According to the White House, US Foreign Minister Pompeo and North Korean leader Kim Jong-un want to talk about denuclearization on Thursday . All plans to design them are so far non-concrete.
U Minister of Foreign Affairs Mike Pompeo will travel to North Korea again on Thursday. There he will speak to leader Kim Jong-un about the denuclearization of the Korean Peninsula, as announced by the White House. This is Pompeo's first visit to North Korea since the summit between President Donald Trump and Kim on June 12 in Singapore. The latter agreed to "work towards denuclearization of the Korean peninsula".
However, the summit's joint statement did not specify how and when Pyongyang could abandon the nuclear and missile programs. Since then, US officials have worked to clarify the details. "To continue the important and ongoing work of denuclearization of the Korean peninsula, US Secretary of State Pompeo will visit North Korea on July 5 to meet the North Korean leader and his team," said Sarah Sanders, spokesperson for the White House. The United States wanted to "make new progress".
The US secret service suspects North Korea of deceiving Trump with commitments to nuclear disarmament, according to a news report. Contrary to promises made at the meeting in recent months, the enrichment of uranium in nuclear weapons has been secretly lifted, reported the NBC News television channel, citing US government circles. In addition, the Pyongyang regime, in addition to the famous Yongbyon treatment plant several secret nuclear sites. Sanders would not comment on that. "Right now, there is great momentum for positive change and we are going to other negotiations," she said.
Pompeo will also travel to Tokyo to discuss the denuclearization of North Korea with the Japanese and South Korean authorities. 19659014] also read
