North Korean officials have warned in a letter to the United States that denuclearization talks were “again at stake and may fall apart”, CNN reported on Tuesday, citing people familiar with the matter.

The letter was delivered directly to U.S Secretary of State Mike Pompeo, and stated that North Korean leader Kim Jong Un’s government felt that the process could not move forward.

"The U.S. is still not ready to meet (North Korean) expectations in terms of taking a step forward to sign a peace treaty," CNN reported, citing sources. cnn.it/2MAI9AT

The 1950-1953 Korean War ended in an armistice rather than a peace treaty, leaving U.S.-led U.N. forces technically still at war with North Korea.

The North has long made clear that it sees an official end to the state of war as crucial to lowering tensions on the Korean peninsula....

Unnamed sources talking to CNN is pretty thin gruel, but I posted it because it might explain why President Trump suddenly cancelled Secretary Pompeo's trip to the DPRK.

Exactly. It could be Lanny Davis for all anyone knows.

Koreans have a strange way of doing business. They don’t really start negotiating until after you’ve delivered on a contract. No one should expect this to look like normal diplomatic parlor chess.

[GoldenPup]

CNN? Almost certainly BS and fake news. Up Yours, CNN!

[CptnObvious]

CNN prays it falls apart. Fools!

It’s ‘falling apart’ because the Norks are still building their nuke capability and Trump isn’t falling for their lies.

Kim Jong Un is about as honest as any democrat politician.

This re-emphasis on a peace treaty is the next China/Russia strategy. They will get N Korea and S Korea to write up and agree to peace treaty and then put it in front of UN General Committee to formalize.

How can the U.S. oppose peace???? We are checkmated at the UN. And this is the crow-bar to pry South Korea away from the US and eventually have communist domination of a unified Korea.... and kick out all US military.

One of the main reasons that Canada is as peaceful and prosperous as it is is because they don't have to spend anything on defense.That's because it's very firmly understood around the world that an attack on Canada is an attack on the United States.

The same is obviously true on the Korean Peninsula.Any attack on North Korea would be resisted very,*very* vigorously by China.

IOW,North Korea has no need for nukes for the very same reason that Canada has no need...they both have *very* powerful friends living next door.

[Mark17]

Yep. Kinda what I was thinking too.

[Eric in the Ozarks]

Wow.
What a surprise !

North Korea tells U.S. denuclearization talks may fall apart unless the republicans retain the House and Senate then it will be back on track again.

There I fixed it for you.

[faucetman]

Okay.... Bomb Bomb Bomb, Bomb Bomb Nork.

[Spruce]

North Korea doesn’t have a choice. Unless they think they can wait for the next feckless Democrat President

[Sir Bangaz Cracka]

CNN would be elated if the Norks nuked a US city, just to mock Trump.

There are no more “news media”.
