TOKYO — Secretary of State Mike Pompeo shot back against North Korea on Sunday, saying the regime’s criticism that U.S. negotiators acted in a “gangster-like” way during his two-day visit to Pyongyang was unfounded.
“If those requests were gangster-like, the world is a gangster,” said Pompeo, noting that U.S. demands for North Korea to denuclearize were supported by a consensus at the U.N. Security Council.
The secretary of state also said that despite a critical statement released by North Korea’s Foreign Ministry on Saturday night, he thought the two sides had made progress during the meeting and that his North Korean counterpart, Kim Yong Chol, negotiated in “good faith” during the meeting. Pompeo added that the U.S. and world powers would maintain economic sanctions against North Korea until full denuclearization was achieved.
America’s top diplomat was speaking in Tokyo, where he had met with the foreign ministers of Japan and South Korea as well as Japanese Prime Minister Shinzo Abe to discuss the progress made during his trip to North Korea. Pompeo had visited the isolated nation Friday in a bid to further a recent denuclearization agreement.

with a conscience and an ability to reason knows this administration in D.C. is full of thugs, crooks, wannabe and true gangsters whose gangster-ism was honed in the rough and tumble streets and corporate offices of New York City. Oh did I mention also full of con-men, sexual perverts, liars, deplorable and vicious, despicable racist beings barely passing as human? Yeah I did. Many have. Yet here we are nationally and internationally.
