'He said he would denuclearize,' Pompeo said. 'He’s told me that face-to-face, personally, no less than half a dozen times. Now we need to figure out how to do it, how to achieve it.'
President Donald Trump's top diplomat has said that North Korean supreme leader Kim Jong Un promised him personally that the country would give up its nuclear weapons.
The official went on to say that the U.S."only will value action" because"talk is cheap," but that he was"hopeful" of progress in"the months ahead." Still, many observers expected some sort of agreement as preliminary discussions between Trump and Kim's officials appeared to go well. Many experts have offered theories as to why talks broke down early on the second day, with some pointing to the sudden arrival of White House national security adviser John Bolton, an outspoken hawk on North Korea.
