Pompeo says won't put timeline on North Korea denuclearization steps
US Secretary of State Mike Pompeo has said he will not put a timeline on negotiations for North Korea's denuclearization, contradicting a senior defense official who said Washington would soon present a timeline to North Korea with "specific asks."
Speaking to CNN in a telephone interview conducted on Sunday and reported by the network on Monday, Pompeo said he wanted to see continued progress towards North Korean denuclearization and that the administration would regularly assess Pyongyang's seriousness about abandoning its nuclear program.
