U.S., North Korea need to build trust to implement Singapore agreement: Pompeo
- 6 years ago
U.S. Secretary of State Mike Pompeo says the United States and North Korea should build trust to successfully implement the agreement reached at the Singapore summit.
His remarks come ahead of his fourth trip to Pyeongyang that starts Sunday.
Speaking to reporters travelling with him on Friday, Pompeo said developing sufficient trust is important to achieve the "end state"…which was set out in Singapore.
In June, the two leaders signed a joint statement about North Korea working towards the complete denuclearization of the Korean peninsula.
Pompeo also said the date and location of a second summit may be decided during his visit, but won't be announced right away.
When asked about North Korea's Vice Foreign Minister Choe Son-hui's visit to Russia and China, Pompeo said the U.S. is in constant communication with her.
When talks with North Korea go well, he said the countries will sign a peace treaty, and China will be part of the process.
