Kim Jong Un has set a year-end deadline for the US to show more flexibility after his second summit with President Donald Trump failed to produce a deal to end a nuclear programme in return for sanctions relief.
SEOUL - North Korea’s vice foreign minister said on Tuesday the United States will face “undesired consequences” if it fails to present a new position in denuclearisation talks by the end of the year, state media reported.
But Trump and US Secretary of State Mike Pompeo have brushed aside the deadline, calling for Kim to take action on his pledge to denuclearise after years of pursuing nuclear and rocket programmes in defiance of UN Security Council resolutions. “Changing paths is not a privilege that only the United States has, but it could be our own choice if we make up our mind,” Choe said, according to the official KCNA news agency.
“We know the path we will take, but we’re just hesitating to choose as we have set the deadline for the United States,” Choe said.
