Pompeo teases North Korea sanctions relief
U.S. Secretary of State Mike Pompeo said on Sunday that the U.S. could potentially provide North Korea with sanctions relief if it completely ends its nuclear program, and will allow private investors to help build an economy to rival South Korea.
Pompeo said he hoped the issue of the pastor, and other Americans detained in Turkey, would be resolved “in the coming days”.
Pompeo and Turkish Foreign Minister Mevlut Cavusoglu met on Friday and agreed to try to resolve a series of disputes. Their meeting in Singapore followed Washington’s imposition on Wednesday of sanctions on two Turkish ministers over the case of Andrew Brunson, a US pastor on trial in Turkey for backing terrorism.
