Is-Segretarju tal-Istat tal-Istati Uniti, Mike Pompeo, mhux se jivvjaġġa lejn il-Korea ta’ Fuq fil-futur immedjat.
Dan wara li l-President Donald Trump talbu biex jikkanċella l-vjaġġ ippjanat.F’sensiela ta’ tweets, il-President Amerikan qal li kien qed isir biss progress insuffiċjenti fit-twaqqif tal-programm nukleari ta’ Pyongyang. Huwa ssuġerixxa li ċ-Ċina ma kinitx qed tagħmel biżejjed pressjoni fuq il-Korea ta’ fuq – minħabba tensjonijiet ta’ negozju mal-Istati Uniti.
I have asked Secretary of State Mike Pompeo not to go to North Korea, at this time, because I feel we are not making sufficient progress with respect to the denuclearization of the Korean Peninsula…

…Additionally, because of our much tougher Trading stance with China, I do not believe they are helping with the process of denuclearization as they once were (despite the UN Sanctions which are in place)…

…Secretary Pompeo looks forward to going to North Korea in the near future, most likely after our Trading relationship with China is resolved. In the meantime I would like to send my warmest regards and respect to Chairman Kim. I look forward to seeing him soon!
