After months at a diplomatic standstill, U.S. and North Korea will convene working-level nuclear talks for the first time since before Pres. Trump and Kim Jong Un's summit in Hanoi.
The U.S. and North Korea will convene working-level nuclear talks for the first time since before President Donald Trump and North Korea's Kim Jong Un met in Hanoi, Vietnam, for their second summit in February.
In a state media statement Tuesday, North Korea's first vice minister for foreign affairs Choe Son Hui announced negotiations would take place on October 5, after an initial meeting on October 4. During their meeting at the Demilitarized Zone between North and South Korea in June, Trump and Kim agreed to working-level talks, which Secretary of State Mike Pompeo said afterward would happen in mid-July. But weeks turned to months without any arrangements being made.
Trump and Kim's first meeting in Singapore in June 2018 yielded a vague joint declaration that committed their countries to the"complete denuclearization of the Korean Peninsula" and a change in their relations.
