Kim Refuses To Give Nuclear Sites List To US Without Declaring End To Korean War - Reports

TOKYO (UrduPoint News / Sputnik - 15th October, 2018) North Korea's leader Kim Jong Un refused to provide the list of the Asian nation's nuclear facilities to US State Secretary Mike Pompeo until the signing of a declaration ending the 1950-1953 Korean War, media reported citing sources.

When asked to provide at least a partial list of nuclear sites, Kim allegedly said that in the absence of trusting relationship between Washington and Pyongyang, the United States will not believe the list even if it gets it, according to the Japanese Yomiuri Shimbun newspaper.

The Korean War ended with the armistice but a peace treaty was never signed.

Pompeo went on a three-day tour of East Asia earlier this month with a mission to advance the process of denuclearizing the Korean Peninsula and setting up the next summit between Kim and US President Donald Trump.
