North Korea Calls Off Denuclearization Talks with the U.S.
----------------------------------------------------------

North Korean officials have called off talks with the U.S. on
denuclearization, warning the Trump administration it has until the end
of the year to change its bargaining approach if it wants negotiations
to continue. On Saturday, North Korea's chief nuclear negotiator denied
the U.S. State Department's rosy assessment of the talks in Stockholm,
Sweden, saying U.S. negotiators brought nothing to the table.

Kim Myong-gil: "The U.S. raised expectations by offering suggestions
like a flexible approach, new methods and creative solutions, but they
have disappointed us greatly and dampened our enthusiasm for
negotiations by bringing nothing to the table."
