SEOUL – The United States hopes to achieve « major disarmament » by North Korea within the next two-and-a-half years, U. S. Secretary of State Mike Pompeo said on Wednesday, speaking the day after President Donald Trump met North Korean leader Kim John Un for a historic summit. Trump and Kim met in Singapore on Tuesday and reached a short agreement that reaffirmed the North’s commitment to « work toward complete denuclearization of the Korean Peninsula, » but provided no details on when Pyongyang would give up nuclear arms or how that might be verified.
