‘N. Korea asked to delay Pompeo talks’

The Hindu  

South Korea’s Foreign Minister said on Thursday that U.S. officials told Seoul that it was North Korea that cancelled nuclear talks this week between U.S. Secretary of State Mike Pompeo and a senior North Korean official. Foreign Minister Kang Kyung-wha provided no reason, aside from “busy schedules,” for why North Korea canceled the meeting set for Thursday in New York that was meant to discuss ridding the North of its nuclear weapons and setting up a second summit between U.S. President Donald Trump and North Korean leader Kim Jong Un. But some analysts say a last-minute cancellation, a familiar North Korean tactic, could be aimed at pressuring the United States to agree to a quick Trump-Kim summit because the North thinks it can win major concessions from Mr. Trump that lower-level U.S. officials might try to block. The U.S. President has recently appeared to be slowing the pace of diplomacy with North Korea amid signs that Kim is lagging behind in his supposed promise to denuclearize.
