North Korean
leader Kim Jong Un plans to invite experts and journalists from Seoul and the
United States to observe when North Korea shuts down its nuclear test site in
May, South Korean officials said Sunday. South Korean
presidential press secretary Yoon Young-chan, also quoted Kim as saying: “The
United States, though inherently hostile to North Korea, will get to know once
our talk begins that I am not the kind of person who will use nuclear weapons
against the South or the United States across the Pacific.”
U.S. Secretary
of State Mike Pompeo told ABC News the best possible outcome for President
Donald Trump’s planned summit with Kim in three to four weeks would be
Pyongyang freeing three Americans it is detaining and agreeing to an
“irreversible” and “verifiable” end to its nuclear weapons program. “Who knows how
the ultimate discussions will go? We have our eyes wide open,” said Pompeo, in
the Middle East on his first overseas trip as the top U.S. diplomat. “Kim is
going to have to make a decision. We use the word irreversible. We’re going to
look for actions and deeds.”
