WASHINGTON/SEOUL (Reuters) – The United States said it was ready to resume talks with North Korea after Pyongyang pledged on Wednesday to dismantle its key missile facilities and suggested it would close its main Yongbyon nuclear complex if Washington took unspecified actions.

U.S. Secretary of State Mike Pompeo said he had invited North Korea’s foreign minister to meet in New York next week, with the aim of completing its denuclearization by January 2021, after a Pyongyang summit between the leaders of the two Koreas.

The United States appeared eager to seize on commitments by North Korean leader Kim Jong Un at his talks with South Korean President Moon Jae-in even as critics said the steps did little to put Pyongyang on a course for irreversible denuclearization.

The headline could have said something about North Korea's Wednesday pledge to dismantle key missile facilities, but I suppose that would reflect too positively on the Administration's foreign policy.

Negotiations with the Norks are always torturous affairs so it's always to wait and see.

Of course but its the media's job to report news, not assess the newsmaker's motives then decide to report or not. This was news.
