The U.S. President also reiterated his belief in his good relationship with Kim Jong-un, despite the collapse of a summit last week
North Korean leader Kim Jong-un and U.S. President Donald Trump meet at the Metropole Hotel, in Hanoi, Vietnam, on Feb. 28, 2019.U.S. President Donald Trump said on Friday he would be disappointed if North Korea were to resume weapons testing and reiterated his belief in his good relationship with its leader, Kim Jong-un, despite the collapse of a summit with him last week.
Trump, eager for a big foreign policy win on North Korea which has eluded his predecessors for decades, has repeatedly stressed his good relationship with Kim. Sohae has been used in the past to rest missile engines and to launch rockets that U.S. officials say have helped development of North Korea’s weapons programs. Kim pledged at a first summit with Trump in Singapore in June that the site would be dismantled.U.S. National Security Adviser John Bolton and other U.S. officials have sought to play down the activity spotted at Sohae, although Trump on Thursday called recent North Korean activity “disappointing.
“The public at home and abroad that had hoped for success and good results from the second … summit in Hanoi are feeling regretful, blaming the U.S. for the summit that ended without an agreement,” its Rodong Sinmun newspaper said in a commentary. The senior State Department official who gave a briefing on Thursday said the United States was keen to resume talks as soon as possible, but North Korea’s negotiators needed to be given more latitude than they were given ahead of the summit.
