North Korea calls U.S. attitude toward talks regrettable, robber-like, rejecting Pompeos assessment
TOKYO Hours after Secretary of State Mike Pompeo hailed his two-day visit to Pynongyang as a productive round of good-faith negotiations, North Korea on Saturday sharply criticized U.S. negotiators attitude during the talks as regrettable and robber-like, accusing the United States of making unilateral demands to denuclearize.
The remarks exposed the fragility surrounding discussions at the center of President Trump's foreign policy, raising questions about Pyongyangs intentions and whether the Foreign Ministrys statement represents a temporary outburst or if it signified a deeper misunderstanding between the two negotiating teams.
The statement, issued Saturday by an unnamed spokesman and shared by the state-run Korea Central News Agency, said the United States violated the spirit of the June 12 Singapore summit between President Trump and North Norean leader Kim Jong Un. It contradicted statements made earlier by Pompeo, who signaled the visit made progress on almost all of the central issues.
At the same time, North Korea said it still wants to build on the friendly relationship and trust that Trump and Kim created during the Singapore gathering. Pompeo did not meet with the North Korean leader during his visit and did not secure a shared understanding of the path to denuclearization.
