Pompeo bullish on DPRK progress

DAVOS, Switzerland - US Secretary of State Mike Pompeo said on Tuesday there remained "an awful lot of work to do" to achieve the denuclearization of the Democratic People's Republic of Korea but he anticipates further progress by the end of next month, when the United States and DPRK leaders are expected to meet for a second summit.

Pompeo, addressing the World Economic Forum in Davos via satellite link, said he believed by the end of February "we'll have another good marker along the way" with the DPRK.

"A set of discussions that took place in Sweden over the weekend have now wrapped up. Again, a little bit more progress," he said.
