Secretary of State Mike Pompeo said he is still leading nuclear negotiations with North Korea a day after the hermit nation said it no longer wanted to work with him.
"Nothing has changed. We'll continue to work to negotiate, still in charge of the team. President Trump's obviously in charge of the overall effort, but it'll be my team," Pompeo told reporters Friday in Washington.
The comments come after senior North Korean foreign ministry official Kwon Jong Gun said the nation wanted to negotiate its denuclearization with someone "who is more careful and mature."
Whenever Pompeo "pokes his nose in, talks between the two countries go wrong without any results even from the point close to success" Kwon said. "Therefore, even in the case of possible resumption of the dialogue with the United States, I wish our dialogue counterpart would be not Pompeo but other person who is more careful and mature in communicating with us."

Someone more mature i.e. Trump who Kim can baffle with his bullshit.
