North Korea: Not Another Summit Until Progress at Working-Level Talks
The United States and North Korea have both indicated a willingness to hold another summit meeting while concurrently downplaying its likelihood. Pyongyang rejects working-level meetings that would lay the necessary groundwork for a detailed agreement, although Secretary of State Michael Pompeo commented that bilateral communication has occurred. Rampant speculation continues, however, of either a significant North Korean provocation or an abrupt summit to sign a minimalist denuclearization accord or a symbolic peace treaty before the U.S. presidential election.
