The possibility of talks between nuclear-armed North Korea and Washington is “narrowing”, Pyongyang said Tuesday after the US State Department reaffirmed its designation as a state sponsor of terrorism.
Last month the North walked away from working-level nuclear talks with the US in Sweden, saying it was disappointed at the lack of “new and creative” solutions offered by Washington.
The process has been deadlocked since the Hanoi summit between leader Kim Jong Un and US President Donald Trump broke up in February amid disagreement over sanctions relief and what the North would be willing to give up in return.
