After the failure of the Hanoi summit .. Korea lies Trump and Pompeo talking about the return of the talks

North Korea's foreign minister said Thursday that his country made a logical proposal at a summit that brought together its leader Kim Jong-un with US President Donald Trump, but Washington insisted that Pyongyang take another step beyond dismantling the Yongbyon nuclear complex.

Minister Ry Yong-ho told a news conference that his country has offered to permanently dismantle all its nuclear material production - including plutonium and uranium - under the supervision of US experts.

Ri said Pyongyang had asked Washington to lift some rather than all sanctions, contrary to previous remarks by Trump.

Trump said he had refrained from signing a nuclear deal at the Hanoi summit because of unacceptable demands from the North's leader to lift US-led sanctions.

Quick return
In contrast, US Secretary of State Mike Pompeo said on Tuesday that the nuclear negotiations with North Korea will resume quickly after the failure to reach an agreement at the Hanoi summit.

Pompio told reporters on the flight from Hanoi to Manila that Trump and Kim Lamasa had made progress in the talks, but could not move forward with an agreement, stressing that real progress could be made in the coming days on Pyongyang's nuclear disarmament.

He noted that his team will return to work on Friday, although no date has been set for new meetings.

The United States and North Korea are trying to agree on a series of steps to implement the agreement reached at the Singapore summit on nuclear disarmament on the Korean Peninsula and normalization of relations between Pyongyang and Washington.
