Pompeo Talks About North Korea, Details What He ‘Regrets’ During Trump Admin

Former U.S. Secretary of State Mike Pompeo is talking about 🇰🇵North Korea and denuclearization.

He told a conservative podcast released on Thursday that he “regrets” the previous administration not making more headway with 🇰🇵North Korea and its nuclear weapons, according to The Hill.

“I regret that we didn’t make more progress,” Pompeo said.

He continued, “We convinced him not to do more nuclear testing and more long-range missile testing, but we weren’t able get him to give up his nuclear program. You know, we got three Americans back.”

In April 2019, 🇰🇵North Korea said it did not want to deal with Pompeo any longer on nuclear negotiations, according to Reuters.

“I am afraid that, if Pompeo engages in the talks again, the table will be lousy once again and the talks will become entangled,” senior foreign ministry official Kwon Jong Gun said, adding, “Therefore, even in the case of possible resumption of the dialogue with the United States, I wish our dialogue counterpart would be not Pompeo but other person who is more careful and mature in communicating with us.”
