North Korea says nuclear talks broke down, but US disagrees
North Korea said denuclearisation talks with the US broke down on Saturday, a characterisation disputed by the Trump administration, which cited "good discussions" during the session in Stockholm.
The talks were the first in about eight months between the US and North Korea, which has been pushing Washington to ease sanctions while staging missile tests seen as provocative.
"The negotiation did not live up to our expectations and broke down. I am very displeased," said Kim Myong Gil, the top North Korean nuclear envoy, according to the South Korean Yonhap News Agency.
Morgan Ortagus, a State Department spokeswoman, said that "the early comments" from North Korea's delegation "do not reflect the content or the spirit of today's eight-and-a-half hour discussion."
