Nuclear Talks Between North Korea And US Collapse

[Guest]

North Korea and the US began preliminary talks on Friday, with working-level negotiations on Saturday in Sweden.... which then ended just as abruptly as they were restarted. The meetings were expected to revive months of prior negotiations over the possible denuclearization of North Korea in the year ahead after a failed February summit between both countries in Vietnam. Alas, it was not meant to be, when newswires reported on Saturday afternoon that those working-level talks have just collapsed in Sweden. As such, the "possibility of a potential future nuclear deal between Washington and Pyongyang is delayed yet again", said North Korea's top nuclear negotiator, first reported by Yonhap News Agency.

Additionally, North Korea's top nuclear negotiator Kim Myong-gil accused Washington of coming to the talks "empty-handed." Myong-gil was speaking to the press in front of the North's Embassy in Stockholm after the failed talks. The meeting was the first of its kind since the disappointing talks between both countries earlier this year. In the attempt to show goodwill ahead of this weekend's talks, President Trump met with Kim Jong-un, Supreme Leader of North Korea, in June at the demilitarized zone between the two Koreas.
