Pompeo: US, North Korea Make Progress on Nuclear Issue

by Reuters

   SEOUL, SOUTH KOREA --

   U.S. Secretary of State Mike Pompeo said on Sunday he met North Korean
   leader Kim Jong Un during his trip to Pyongyang, aimed at breaking a
   stalemate in nuclear negotiations between the two countries.

   Shortly after arriving in South Korea following the visit, Pompeo
   posted a photo of himself walking along with Kim on Twitter:

   A U.S. official in Pompeo's delegation said the trip to North Korea was
   "better than the last time" but further efforts were needed.

   The official indicated some progress was made during the visit, which
   included a meeting with the North Korean leader, but added: "It's going
   to be a long haul."
