Guest Larstrup Posted July 7, 2018 Posted July 7, 2018 North Korea: Talks with Pompeo 'regrettable' North Korea has said talks with US Secretary of State Mike Pompeo are "regrettable". "The US attitude and positions at the high-level talks on Friday and Saturday were extremely regrettable," the North's Foreign Ministry said in a statement. It also accused the US of unilateral demands for denuclearisation. The statement says that America betrayed the spirit of last month's summit between US President Donald Trump and North Korean leader Kim Jong Un. It says the outcome of the talks was "very concerning" because it has led to a "dangerous phase that might rattle our willingness for denuclearisation that had been firm". The North's official KCNA news agency said the result of talks was "extremely troubling", accusing America of insisting on complete, verifiable and irreversible denuclearisation. Mr Pompeo arrived in Pyongyang on Friday for a two-day visit - his third trip to the isolated state since taking the secretary of state job in April. Earlier reports pointed to progress being made between the two countries, with commitments for new discussions on denuclearisation and the repatriation of the remains of American soldiers killed during the Korean War. The US politician did not meet with North Korea's leader during this visit. https://news.sky.com/story/north-korea-talks-with-pompeo-regrettable-11429227 Quote

BTW...I'm out of "likes" (imagine that) so I was unable to give you a "reaction" to your previous posts. I just don't understand why Oz would have a feature on a website the limits people's ability to participate and show appreciation and enthusiasm for other members posts. (sigh) Maybe it's a sign that I'm posting too much... Quote
