Secretary of State Mike Pompeo said in an interview broadcast Sunday that he sees a “long ways to go” to get North Korean leader Kim Jong Un to fully denuclearize.
“Here's what I'd say about North Korea,” Pompeo said on NBC’s “Meet the Press." “We came in. There was the risk of war. We've taken that threat down by taking the temperature down, by beginning this set of discussions. They have stopped missile firings and nuclear testing. That's all to the good. We got back the remains of some of our soldiers. That's to the good.”
Pompeo added, however, that administration officials have their “eyes wide open.”
“There is a long ways to go to get Chairman Kim to live up to the commitment that he made to President Trump and, indeed, to the demands of the world in the U.N. Security Council resolutions to get him to fully denuclearize,” he said.
