U.S. Secretary of State Mike Pompeo called the end of North Korea's nuclear weapons program a "joint objective" for Washington and Moscow on Tuesday at a press conference with the Russian foreign minister, Sergey Lavrov.

The two top diplomats met at the State Department and addressed reporters on a range of foreign policy issues, including North Korea, on a busy day in Washington that also featured the release of articles of impeachment against President Donald Trump and a massive North American trade deal.
