North Korea Says It Wants To Talk But Is Demanding The Removal Of U.S. Secretary of State Mike Pompeo From The Talks

U.S. Secretary of State Pompeo and North Korean leader Kim Jong-un

CNN: North Korea: If US wants to talk, put someone 'more mature' than Pompeo in charge

North Korea's Foreign Ministry has issued a stinging rebuke of United States Secretary of State Mike Pompeo, hours after the country claimed to have tested a new tactical weapon.

In a statement released by the state-run Korean Central News Agency, Foreign Ministry official Kwon Jong Gun said Pompeo had been "letting loose reckless remarks and sophism of all kinds against us every day."

Kwon said North Korean leader Kim Jong Un had made his "principled stand" on negotiations between Pyongyang and Washington clear in a recent speech to the country's rubberstamp parliament.

"Everyone has a clear interpretation of his speech which says that the US should change its way of calculation and come up with responsive measures before the end of this year," Kwon said.
