US Secretary of State Mike Pompeo said on Wednesday that, as the US election approaches, President Donald Trump only wants to engage in another summit with North Korea if there is a likelihood of real progress.
Pompeo told a livestreamed interview with the Hill that the North Koreans had “chosen at this point in time not to engage in a way that can lead to a potential solution.”
Kim Yo-jong, the sister of North Korea’s leader Kim Jong-un, said last week that another summit between him and Trump was unlikely this year, but added that “a surprise thing may still happen.”
