North Korea and USA continue talks
U.S. Secretary of State Mike Pompeo held a second day of talks in North Korea
This is as they attempt to agree details on how to dismantle the country’s nuclear programme, and both sides said they had things to “clarify” from the previous day.
After spending his first night in the North Korean capital in three visits so far this year, Pompeo left the government guest house where he spent the night to make a secure phone call and update U.S. President Donald Trump on the talks.
Pompeo then sat down again with Kim Yong Chol, the top North Korean party official and former spy agency chief with whom he played a key role in arranging the summit between Trump and North Korean leader Kim Jong Un in Singapore on June 12.
Kim Yong Chol said at the start of the meeting the two had “very serious discussion on very important matters yesterday”. He joked that, as a result, Pompeo “might have not slept well last night” at the prestigious Paekhwawon, or 100 Flowers Garden, guest house.
