North Korea Releases Statement on ‘Regrettable’ Talks with Pompeo

By The Western Journal

July 7, 2018 at 5:37am

High-level talks between the United States and North Korea appeared to hit a snag on Saturday as Pyongyang said a visit by U.S. Secretary of State Mike Pompeo had been “regrettable” and accused Washington of making “gangster-like” demands to pressure the country into abandoning its nuclear weapons.

The statement from the North came just hours after Pompeo wrapped up two days of talks with senior North Korean officials without meeting North Korean leader Kim Jong Un but with commitments for new discussions on denuclearization and the repatriation of the remains of American soldiers killed during the Korean War.

While Pompeo offered a relatively positive assessment of his meetings, North Korea’s Foreign Ministry said in a statement that the U.S. betrayed the spirit of last month’s summit between President Donald Trump and Kim by making “unilateral and gangster-like” demands on “CVID,” or the complete, verifiable and irreversible denuclearization of North Korea.

It said the outcome of the follow-up talks was “very concerning” because it has led to a “dangerous phase that might rattle our willingness for denuclearization that had been firm.”

“We had expected that the U.S. side would offer constructive measures that would help build trust based on the spirit of the leaders’ summit … we were also thinking about providing reciprocal measures,” said the statement, released by an unnamed spokesman and carried by the North’s official Korean Central News Agency.

“However, the attitude and stance the United States showed in the first high-level meeting (between the countries) was no doubt regrettable,” the spokesman said. “Our expectations and hopes were so naive it could be called foolish.”

According to the spokesman, during the talks with Pompeo, the North raised the issue of a possible declaration to formally end the 1950-53 Korean War, which concluded with an armistice and not a peace treaty. It also offered to discuss the closure of a missile engine test site that would “physically affirm” a move to halt the production of intercontinental range ballistic missiles and setting up working-level discussions for the return of U.S. war remains.

However, the spokesman said the United States came up with a variety of “conditions and excuses” to delay a declaration on ending the war. The spokesman also downplayed the significance of the United States suspending its military exercises with South Korea, saying the North made a larger concession by blowing up the tunnels at its nuclear test site.

In criticizing the talks with Pompeo, however, the North carefully avoided attacking Trump, saying “we wholly maintain our trust toward President Trump,” but also that Washington must not allow “headwinds” against the “wills of the leaders.”

In comments to reporters before leaving Pyongyang, Pompeo said his conversations with senior North Korean official Kim Yong Chol had been “productive,” conducted “in good faith” and that “a great deal of progress” had been made in some areas. He stressed that “there’s still more work to be done” in other areas, much of which would be done by working groups that the two sides have set up to deal with specific issues.

Pompeo said a Pentagon team will be meeting with North Korean officials on or about July 12 at the border between North and South Korea to discuss the repatriation of remains and that working-level talks would be held soon on the destruction of North Korea’s missile engine testing facility.

In the days following his historic June 12 summit with Kim Jong Un in Singapore, Trump had announced that the return of the remains and the destruction of the missile facility had been completed or were in progress.

Pompeo, however, said that more talks were needed on both.

“We now have a meeting set up for July 12 — it could move by one day or two — where there will be discussions between the folks responsible for the repatriation of remains. (It) will take place at the border and that process will begin to develop over the days that follow,” he said as he boarded his plane for Tokyo.

On the destruction of the missile engine plant, Pompeo said, “We talked about what the modalities would look like for the destruction of that facility as well, and some progress there as well, and then we have laid out a path for further negotiation at the working level so the two teams can get together and continue these discussions.”

Earlier, Pompeo and Kim Yong Chol both said they needed clarity on the parameters of an agreement to denuclearize the Korean Peninsula that Trump and Kim Jong Un agreed to in Singapore. The trip was Pompeo’s third to Pyongyang since April and his first since the summit.

Unlike his previous visits, which have been one-day affairs during which he has met with Kim Jong Un, Pompeo spent the night at a government guesthouse in Pyongyang and did not see the North Korean leader, although U.S. officials had suggested such a meeting was expected. State Department spokeswoman Heather Nauert said no meeting had been planned.

As they began their talks on Saturday, Kim Yong Chol alluded to the fact that Pompeo and his delegation had stayed overnight in Pyongyang.

“We did have very serious discussions on very important matters yesterday,” Kim said. “So, thinking about those discussions you might have not slept well last night.”

Pompeo, who spoke with Trump, national security adviser John Bolton and White House chief of staff John Kelly by secure phone before starting Saturday’s session, replied that he “slept just fine.” He added that the Trump administration was committed to reaching a deal under which North Korea would denuclearize and realize economic benefits in return.

Kim later said that “there are things that I have to clarify” to which Pompeo responded that “there are things that I have to clarify as well.”

There was no immediate explanation of what needed to be clarified, but the two sides have been struggling to specify what exactly “denuclearization” would entail and how it could be verified to the satisfaction of the United States.

Pompeo and Kim met for nearly three hours Friday and then had dinner amid growing skepticism over how serious Kim Jong Un is about giving up his nuclear arsenal and translating the upbeat rhetoric following his summit with Trump into concrete action.

I think the chinese tariffs are somehow tied into this. NK isn't cooperating, nor are the chinese. Those tariffs will hurt china a lot more than they will us.

The only negotiations that Pompeo can understand is a direct hit with NORK nuclear missile.

It's either spin the centrifuges for a nuke, or form a mutual defense alliance with S. Korea, Iran, Russia, Syria, Iraq, China, Pakistan, Africa, India, and the rest of the world to simultaneously attack Mar de Largo if the Donnell tries anything.

It's the pathway to peace.

You would have to be the most incompetent fool on the planet to do any deal with the Zionists which removed the deterrence factor. The choice of the Zionist Empire vs their Communist offspring is a false paradigm which by design is a lose-lose proposition for mankind.

I think it was, but then the IMF decided to move to Beijing. This may signal a sea change in the way the money flows. It could be bad for Dee Cee. ;)

It seems the Zio-Nazis have 300 nukes. So if they do not use them, they just might lose them. If they are forced to leave the Mid-East ministate they may return to Ukraine, that is if the Ukrainians would want them. ;)

Sure, the nest of the Synagogue of Satan (Revelation Ch 2 v 9, Ch 3 v 9) is on the Med.

They whacked JFK over Dimona, no doubt about it.

But USA Inc is the Zionist Empire's Bully and Bagman.

Not really likely. But it is a better chance JFK was hit because he threatened to "break the CIA into a million pieces and scatter it to the four winds".

The JFK files will not be released until after George H.W. Bush is dead since he was DCI at that time. We all know the sins of the Bush Crime Cult and their ancestors (and companies) who traded with the Nazis. ;)

During the early 1930s, Fritz Thyssen ran a business that he used to help finance Adolf Hitler’s rise to power. Brown Brothers Harriman was a subsidiary company that he used as a base of American operations. This collusion is of particular note because it was integral to the basis of the claim that Prescott Bush, father of Ex-President George Bush and of course grandfath er of Ex-President George W. Bush, supported the Third Reich. He was on the board of directors for BBH and in 1942, the company’s assets were seized by the federal government. Suspicions then arose that some assets were taken as part of the www.huffingtonpost.com/larisa-alexandrovna/all-the- presidents-nazis_b_102022.html">Bush family fortune. These, among other reasons, came to light in 2003 as part of the presidential campaign, and make it appear that the Bush family owed their fortune to Nazi activities. It really does seem like the sort of discovery an www.toptenz.net/top-10- controversial-us-presidential-elections.php">opposing campaign team would dream about making in regards to their opponent (not that it ultimately helped much).

Does the Trading With the Enemy Act of 1917 mean anything to you?

This Act as Amended in 1933 by FDR made the people the enemy of the government. And according to the Amendment the time of emergency does not have be a time of war. It can be ANY national emergency. ;)

Not the ONLY reason. There were many.

But it was one of the heavier straws, if not the heaviest straw, irritating the camel - I assure you.

I know enough to look to see who is pulling the puppets strings, believe me. I used to read the old Spotlight newspaper when I was young. Willis Carto (RIP) was the publisher.

Leon Degrelle, the Belgian Waffen SS commander on the Eastern Front, and who was part of the last ditch defense of Berlin, escaped to Spain at the end of the war. Though the Henkels bomber crash landed and Degrelle was seriously injured, he survived.

Degrelle sent his manuscript to Carto to be published by Liberty Library. But the Joos burned the Library and destroyed Degrelle's manuscript.

When he heard what had happened, he said, "I think I will just die." And three day later he was dead.

Blame it all on those bastard Joos. ;)

You're both right. The power mafia always has multiple motivations for a big, big hit - - look how many NWO goals they crossed off just with 911 -- towers demolished free of charge for Larry Baby, evidence destroyed, 1000-year War Of Terror on people Israel hates, huge new federal bureaucracies, the Constitution raped in how many ways, etc.

huge new federal bureaucracies

DHS was one of those agencies. And they consume millions of dollars in the budget with employees who are less than top notch.

I used to pick up air freight at Chicago-O'Hare. I can't imagine having to go in there now with DHS checking everything. We used to back the truck in an empty dock and walk inside. One time I saw one of the regular drivers I saw a lot. I was running real hard at the time. He said, "What are you doing?" I said, "I'm sleep walking. I'm sleep walking." LOL
