Trump team sees ‘major disarmament’ of North Korea in 2½ years
WASHINGTON — Secretary of State Mike Pompeo said Wednesday that the Trump administration hopes to complete “major disarmament” of North Korea within the next 2½ years, even as conflicting accounts of discussions between the two sides left unclear what had actually been agreed to.
A day after President Trump’s landmark meeting with North Korea’s leader, Kim Jong Un, in Singapore, the two leaders and their governments sought to shape the understanding of their talks to their advantage. But the contours of the vague agreement remained unclear and open to divergent interpretations.
