Trump says he’s ‘in no rush’ after North Korea talks postponed

WASHINGTON – President Donald Trump said Wednesday the U.S. is “in no rush” after talks between Secretary of State Mike Pompeo and a senior North Korean envoy were postponed, throwing stalled diplomacy over the North’s nuclear weapons into further uncertainty.

Trump said he still expected to hold a second summit with North Korean leader Kim Jong Un early next year .

Neither side has explained why the planned talks were postponed. The State Department said the meeting would take place at an unspecified later date, “when our respective schedules permit.” North Korea’s propaganda services have not mentioned the meeting.
