Regarding U.S. Secretary of State Mike Pompeo's remarks to CNN that the U.S. is not going to put a timeline on Pyongyang's denuclearization,... the U.S. State Department stressed that the U.S. policy on North Korea hasn't changed,... and its goal is still the complete, verifiable and irreversible denuclearization of the Korean peninsula.
Washington-based VOA reported Wednesday,... quoting an unnamed state department official, that the administration's policy has not changed and that international sanctions remain in full effect, with the U.S. working closely with China on engagement with North Korea.
The report also said U.S. Secretary of State Pompeo will lead follow-up negotiations at the earliest possible date to implement the results of the North Korea-U.S. summit.
On Monday,... CNN aired an interview in which Pompeo said that rather than put a timeline on Pyongyang, the U.S. would regularly evaluate the regime's sincerity towards denuclearization.
