폼페이오, 비핵화 협상 위해 5-7일 방북
Washington's top diplomat Mike Pompeo will visit Pyongyang on Thursday for nuclear talks with North Korea... and this is his first trip to the regime since the landmark summit between leaders of North Korea and the U.S. last month.
Our Oh Soo-young starts us off.
U.S. Secretary of State Mike Pompeo will meet with North Korean leader Kim Jong-un this week to specify the details of the regime's denuclearization.
White House Press Secretary Sarah Huckabee Sanders on Monday confirmed his three-day trip to Pyongyang.
"To continue the ongoing and important work of denuclearization on the Korean Peninsula, Secretary Pompeo will be leaving for North Korea on July 5th to meet with the North Korean leader and his team."
This will mark Pompeo's third visit to the regime this year,... and the first since the historic June 12th summit between Kim Jong-un and President Trump in Singapore,... where they agreed on the full denuclearization of the Korean Peninsula.
However, many have criticized the agreement for lacking specific details on the process.
Skepticism has further deepened amid U.S. media reports,... citing intelligence sources, that the North does not intend to completely give up its nuclear weapons and technology.
Sanders refused to elaborate on the reports.
"In the last eight months you haven't seen missile launches, you haven't seen a nuclear that you haven't seen the nuclear detonations. And again, these conversations are continuing to evolve. I'm not going to get into the details but I can tell you that progress continues to be made."
According to a New York Times report, Pompeo's visit will likely focus on presenting a denuclearization timeline, beginning with the North's declaration of all its weapons, missiles and production facilities.
This, the report said, would be the first real test of the regime's commitment towards abandoning its nuclear weapons.
Sanders on Monday expressed optimism,... backing National Security Advisor John Bolton's remarks that the North's nuclear weapons program could be dismantled in a year, given the right conditions.
She said that working-level talks at Panmunjom between U.S. Ambassador to the Philippines Sung Kim and North Korean officials on Sunday had gone well,... and that Pompeo would continue the discussions.
According to the State Department, Pompeo will make a stop in Tokyo, after his talks in Pyongyang,... to discuss the denuclearization issue with South Korean and Japanese officials.
