Pompeo upbeat on prospects for talks with North Korea, despite Thursday’s test

Pyongyang likely seeking to build "leverage" ahead of negotiations, Secretary of State says

Secretary of State Mike Pompeo on Thursday reiterated his view that planned working-level talks between the U.S. and North Korea will take place in the next few weeks, just hours after the DPRK reported a recent test of a “new-type” tactical guided weapon.

Speaking in an interview, the Secretary of State said the North Korean leader had committed to continuing a self-declared moratorium on launching intermediate-range and long-range missiles at a summit with President Trump last month.
