Trump ‘very happy’ with progress in denuclearisation talks with North Korea
Hindustan TimesUnited States President Donald Trump said on Monday that he is “very happy” with how talks were progressing with North Korea, as observers and the media highlight the lack of concrete results one month after his summit with Kim Jong Un. Wrong, very happy!” In a joint declaration after his historic summit with Trump on June 12 in Singapore, the North Korean leader “reaffirmed his commitment” to work towards the “denuclearisation of the Korean Peninsula”. A month ago, the US administration insisted on the “urgency” of denuclearisation, and said it would begin “very quickly.” “We’re hopeful we can get it done” by 2020, before the end of Trump’s term, Secretary of State Mike Pompeo said at the time. “We have said there’s a lot of work left to be done.” Also read: Gave up nothing, talked about benefits for both countries: Trump on Putin meet
