https://www.rawstory.com/2018/06/mike-pompeo-says-wont-put-timeline-north-korea-denuclearization-steps-cnn/I am not going to put a timeline on it, whether thats two months, six months, we are committed to moving forward in an expeditious moment to see if we can achieve what both leaders set out to do, Pompeo told CNN, referring to a June 12 summit between Trump and North Korean leader Kim Jong Un.
Pompeo, who has been charged with leading negotiations aimed at persuading North Korea to give up a nuclear weapons program that threatens the United States, said he would constantly reassess whether enough progress was being made to continue talks.
...
And Trump said last week the number-one statement in the document he and Kim signed in Singapore was we will immediately begin total denuclearization of North Korea, although there was no such statement in the text.
...
Pompeo said a week ago he would likely travel back to North Korea before too terribly long to try to flesh out commitments made at the summit. The State Department has since said it has no travel plans to announce.
...
CNN said Pompeo suggested it was too soon to expect a detailed roadmap after 40 years of tensions but insisted that Kim had been unequivocal about his willingness to denuclearize.
