NBC News: North Korea says it won’t disarm first, citing U.S. sanctions as source of mistrust
Secretary Pompeo responded, saying that the sanctions must continue “vigorously and without fail” until the region denuclearizes.
This seems like a step back in Trump’s relationship with North Korean officials. Just weeks ago Trump said:
”Kim Jong Un of North Korea proclaims “unwavering faith in President Trump.” Thank you to Chairman Kim. We will get it done together!”
Seems like Trump overestimated their relationship.
