Sec. Pompeo said that the U.S. is hopeful denuclearization talks with North Korea will continue despite threats by a senior North Korean official to pull out of the negotiations and resume missile testing.
"It's the administration's desire that we continue to have conversations," the secretary of state said.
The official, Vice Foreign Minister Choe Son Hui,"left open the possibility that negotiations would continue for sure,” Pompeo told reporters."It's the administration's desire that we continue to have conversations." North Korea and the United States failed to reach agreement last month at the second summit between President Donald Trump and Kim, and the two sides left in a stalemate over how far North Korea must go toward denuclearization in exchange for sanctions relief.
