Summary from the AllSides News Team

Secretary of State Mike Pompeo spent the last two days in talks with North Korean leaders on a number of issues, including setting a timeline for the the country's denuclearization. The secretary said Saturday that they had made progress in the talks, but North Korean media released a statement saying the talks were "regrettable."
