TEHRAN, June 28 - U.S. Secretary of State Mike Pompeo plans to travel to North Korea next week to discuss the country's denuclearization plans, the Financial Times reported on Thursday, citing four people familiar with his plans.
TEHRAN, Young Journalists Club (YJC) - U.S. officials said Pompeo had canceled a meeting with his Indian counterpart in Washington on July 6 in order to fly to Pyongyang, the newspaper reported. His visit would mark the first to North Korea since U.S. President Donald Trump and North Korean leader Kim Jong Un held their June 12 summit in Singapore.
A State Department official would not confirm the report and told Reuters there were no travels plans to announce.
On Wednesday, Pompeo told lawmakers he was confident that North Korea understood the scope of the U.S. desire for complete denuclearization as the two countries negotiate after the summit.
"We’ve been pretty unambiguous in our conversations about what we mean when we say complete denuclearization," Pompeo told a Senate Appropriations subcommittee hearing on funding for the State Department.
