U.S. drops demand for full accounting of N. Korea nuclear program ahead of talks

HANOI, Vietnam — U.S. negotiators are no longer demanding that North Korea agree to disclose a full accounting of its nuclear weapons and ballistic missile programs as part of talks this week between President Donald Trump and Kim Jong Un, according to current and former senior U.S. officials.

The decision to drop, for now, a significant component of a potential nuclear deal suggests a reality that U.S. intelligence assessments have stressed for months is shaping talks as they progress: North Korea does not intend to fully denuclearize, which is the goal Trump set for his talks with Kim.

Secretary of State Mike Pompeo, who had been leading negotiations until he named a special envoy to focus on the effort, has grown increasingly concerned about the prospects of reaching a deal with North Korea that gets rid of its nuclear threat, current and former senior U.S. officials said.


He’ll jump ship later this year, to pursue a seat as US Senator from Kansas, in the 2020 race.

What's the alternative? China will not stand for us invading North Korea. We either need to make some kind of deal with North Korea or convince China to reign them in.

At one time, it was supposedly fire an fury, because talking was a waste of time.

I told Rex Tillerson, our wonderful Secretary of State, that he is wasting his time trying to negotiate with Little Rocket Man...

Are there any corroborating sources for this story?  I did a Google search and every single story that was responsive to my search referred back to this one NBC story.  It's probably true, but I never trusted NBC after the Brian Williams fiasco.

The story you linked was from the Hill, and it's 100% sourced by NBC.  Every story I checked was.
