The Associated Press WASHINGTON (AP) — U.S. Secretary of State Mike Pompeo said Friday that the United States expects North Korean leader Kim Jong Un to honor his promise to keep his missile launches and nuclear tests on hold, speaking after a top North Korean official suggested the moratorium was under review and could be lifted.

Pompeo said Kim told U.S. President Donald Trump several times at last month’s summit in Vietnam that he would not restart the tests.

“So that’s Chairman Kim’s word,” he said. “We have every expectation he will live up to that commitment.”

Vice Foreign Minister Choe Son Hui said earlier Friday in Pyongyang that Kim would soon decide if he wanted to continue talks with the United States about his nuclear program and whether he plans to maintain his moratorium on tests.

She also claimed that Pompeo and Trump’s national security adviser, John Bolton, created an atmosphere of hostility and mistrust at last month’s nuclear summit in Hanoi. She suggested that while Trump was more willing to talk, Pompeo and Bolton made uncompromising demands of the North Koreans.Speech
