Pompeo hopes for North Korea talks soon

US Secretary of State Mike Pompeo said on Monday he hoped working-level talks to revive denuclearization talks with North Korea could occur “very soon” but emphasized that a follow up leaders’ summit was not planned.

“We hope that we can have working-level discussions very soon,” Pompeo told an audience at The Economics Club of Washington D.C. a day before he travels to Asia.

Asked about the possibility of another summit between President Donald Trump and North Korean leader Kim Jong Un, he added: “There is nothing in the works. There is nothing planned.”

Pompeo and North Korean Foreign Minister Ri Yong Ho had been expected to meet on the sidelines of a Southeast Asia security foreign in Bangkok this week.
