Secretary of State Pompeo insists he's 'still in charge' of North Korea negotiations
Washington Secretary of State Mike Pompeo emphasized Friday that he is"still in charge" of the diplomatic team running negotiations with North Korea and made it clear that he plans to continue serving in that capacity despite a blistering rebuke by Pyongyang earlier this week that called for the top US diplomat to be removed from denuclearization talks.
Pompeo also sought to downplay concerns about how the current impasse between Washington and Pyongyang over sanctions relief might impact talks going forward, a disagreement that contributed to President Donald Trump's decision to walk away from February's summit with Kim in Hanoi, Vietnam, without a deal.
