Bolton's National Security Adviser explains why President Trump is pursuing a second North American summit.
Mr. Trump said he believed that President Kim Jong-un should attend the second North-South summit because he did not keep his promise at the North American summit in June.
[Bolton / White House National Security Adviser: North Korea has not kept its promise so far. That's why President Trump thinks the summit is productive.]
The North American leader agreed in June to improve US - North Korea relations, repatriate the missing US troops, and work on a peace regime and denuclearization of the Korean peninsula.
Bolton did not specify specific violations of North Korea's consensus.
A diplomatic source said Bolton expressed a wide range of complaints about the standoff in the denuclearization talks in North America.
In the end, North Korea's high-level talks and working-level talks have been sluggish, and it appears that President Trump has expressed his will to make a breakthrough through the so-called "top-down style" talks with Kim.
Bolton has reaffirmed the principles of sanctions after denuclearization, which he said would not solve economic sanctions on Pyongyang until Pyongyang fulfills its agreement.
