KIM ACCUSES US OF MAKING 'GANGSTER-LIKE' DEMANDS

-

North Korean leader Kim Jong Un has delivered a dose of harsh reality to Donald Trump, bashing hopes for a quick denucleari­zation deal in a pointed rebuke to the president’s top envoy while accusing the US of making “gangster-like” demands. After the historic US-North Korea summit in Singapore, Trump declared the North was no longer a threat and would hand over the remains of Americans killed during the Korean War. Now, three weeks later, the two sides were still at odds on all issues, including exactly what denucleari­zation means and how it might be verified, after a third visit to Pyongyang by US Secretary of State Mike Pompeo. And, the promised remains have yet to be delivered.
