U. S. Secretary of State Mike Pompeo spoke with counterparts in South Korea and Japan last week to discuss «next steps» with North Korea, as his trip to Pyongyang was scrapped, officials said Monday.

In descriptions of Pompeo’s two calls, which were made Friday, the State Department said he had spoken about «next steps» on engagement with North Korea.
