[quote]North Korea has branded the US attitude at the latest talks over its nuclear programme "regrettable" and "extremely troubling".

The statement, by an unnamed foreign ministry official, contradicted the version of events given by US Secretary of State Mike Pompeo just hours before.

He had said progress was made during his two-day visit to Pyongyang.

It was the first time he had visited North Korea since the Donald Trump-Kim Jong-un summit in Singapore.

The North Korean statement, carried by the official KCNA news agency, said the US had gone against the spirit of the summit by putting unilateral pressure on the country to abandon its nuclear weapons.

"We had anticipated the US side would come with a constructive idea, thinking we would take something in return," the North Korean statement said.

"But through the high-level talks, the trust between the DPRK and the United States is facing a dangerous situation where our resolve for denuclearisation, which has been firm and steadfast, may falter."[/quote]

Trump never cared about a true summit and resulting pact with NKO; he lacks the ability to think that far ahead, not to mention the acumen to even hold an intelligible conversation.

He was only interested in setting records, in 'firsts,' and in appearances. North Korea problem? I alone can fix it - and look, I did...and bigly, hugely, most/best/biggest/firstest ever, believe me. Now let's move on.

Except this isn't a board room filled with sycophants where someone can be bullied and lied to without the rest of the world noticing.

@Graylight Agree, all he needs is the "right" optics, to win in November and then 2020.

@Northwest If NK launched a strike on Japan or SK Trump would say it was a win.

@Graylight The real risk to the US is if NK sells the tech.

@ButterFly2023 N. Korea has been selling the missile tech to several nations, the same goes for the Nuke tech.

@Northwest I know they were involved in helping Syria. As you know, I don't care about every nation having nuclear weapons, I believe in the values of the NRA.

@ButterFly2023 I'm telling you, that logic doesn't apply to nuclear weapons. XD

@Xuan12 Oh my mistake : ) .

I have to agree with you. In all his activities both personal and political, Trump seems first and foremost to place value on what will make him look good.
