MANILA - U.S. Secretary of State Mike Pompeo said on Thursday that the United States and North Korea could hold further meetings after a second summit between President Donald Trump and North Korean leader Kim Jong Un in Vietnam failed to yield an agreement, but there was no plan to do so immediately.
“We haven’t set a date,” Pompeo told reporters on a flight from Vietnam to the Philippines. “My sense is it will take a little while. We’ll each need to regroup a little bit. But I’m very hopeful that Special Representative Biegun and that team will get together before too long,”Biegun, who led working-level negotiations with his North Korean counterpart in the run-up to the Hanoi summit, was on the plane with Pompeo, but did not speak to reporters.
Pompeo said the two sides had “cleared away a lot of brush” in working-level talks in the past 60-90 days. Trump said earlier he walked away from a nuclear deal at his summit with Kim in Vietnam on Thursday because of unacceptable demands from the North Korean leader to lift U.S.-led sanctions.
