Pompeo says North Korea understands there will be ‘in-depth verification’
Secretary of State Mike Pompeo told reporters traveling with him in Seoul that he was “confident” North Korea understood there will be in-depth verification of the dismantling of its nuclear program.
Pompeo also pushed back on criticism that the joint statement issued after the Tuesday summit between President Donald Trump and North Korean leader Kim Jong Un failed to include the terms “verifiable” and “irreversible” — two conditions Pompeo and other US officials have repeatedly said are necessary for any deal.
