He said this after a meeting with representatives of the Japanese authorities, answering journalists' questions.

"Nothing changed. We will continue to work. I am responsible for the team. President Trump, of course, is responsible for all efforts, ”Pompeo said.

The state secretary added that “in his team” remains the special representative of the State Department for North Korea Stephen Beagan. He also said that the American side will continue to put pressure on North Korea.

“We will continue to put pressure on North Korea so that the country abandons all weapons of mass destruction,” he said.

He noted that the US sanctions against Pyongyang will continue. He urged the rest of the country to adhere to sanctions against the DPRK.
