US Secretary of State Pompeo suggested conditions for North Korea's denuclearization potential during the third North American summit. We also emphasized a complete and verifiable method, but under these conditions, it would not seem easy for North Korea to respond.

an interview with The Hill, the secretary of state of Congress, Pompeo placed the condition of denuclearization progress on the possibility of the third North American summit.

[Pompeo/US Secretary of State: President Trump only wants to get involved in the summit if he believes there is enough potential for real progress. ]

Then, a complete and verifiable method was discussed as the basis for judging progress.

There is also a response to the reaffirmation of the US denuclearization principle called FFVD, and North Korea's 1st Deputy Head of Labor, Kim Yeo-jung, said the summit was unnecessary unless the United States decided to change its position in the talks on the 10th.

At another talk, Pompeii said that the possibility of a surprise meeting before the US presidential election in November is now in July and is unlikely.

Pompeo, however, has repeatedly confirmed his willingness to resume talks with North Korea.

[Pompeo/US Secretary of State: We hope North Korea will change its mind. We are looking forward to their participation in the conversation so we can reach the right results.]

Earlier, President Trump opened the possibility that he would talk to North Korea if it could help, and three days later, Mr. Kim released a talk about throwing the ball to the United States.
