Secretary of State Pompeii said he hoped to continue negotiations with North Korea through the briefing.

[Pompei Oh / Secretary of State: I saw the remarks of Choi Sun-hee. Choi opened the possibility of negotiations. The US government hopes to continue dialogue with North Korea.]

During the North-South summit in Hanoi, Kim emphasized the pledge to stop Kim Jong Eun's nuclear and missile tests.

[Pompei Oh / US Secretary of State: Kim says he will not resume his nuclear test and missile tests directly with President Trump. This is Kim's promise.]

He urged North Korea to fulfill its promises by showing its commitment to dialogue without further stimulation.

In addition, North Korea's objection to the denuclearization of the missile, the weapons system, and all weapons of mass destruction reaffirmed its stance on sanctions.

It was not the first time that the North's criticism of the attitude of robbery was such a reaction.

John Bolton, a National Security Adviser, refused to respond promptly to the allegations that he and Pompeii had created a hostile atmosphere.

US media reported that North Korea is not closing the door of the dialogue, saying it could be a time-bargaining tactic for North Korea.
