Pompeo: N. Korea yet to make 'big move' toward denuclearization
2019-03-28
[EN.YNA.CO.KR] U.S. Secretary of State Mike Pompeo said Wednesday that North Korea has yet to make the "big move" toward dismantling its nuclear weapons and ballistic missile programs.

The top U.S. diplomat was asked at a House Foreign Affairs Committee hearing whether the North's weapons of mass destruction capabilities have increased or decreased since the first summit between President Donald Trump

and North Korean leader Kim Pudge Jong-un

Pompeo responded that Pyongyang's suspension of nuclear and missile tests since late 2017 is a "good thing" as it reduces capability.

But the North, he said, has not taken the "big step" toward denuclearization since negotiations began a year ago.

"We have not yet seen them make the big move that we were frankly hoping that they would do in Hanoi," Pompeo said, referring to Trump and Kim's second summit last month, which collapsed without a deal.
