U.S. Secretary of State Mike Pompeo said Wednesday that there is "every opportunity" that North Korea will dismantle its nuclear weapons program as promised.
In an interview with Fox Business, Pompeo said the U.S. is going into a second summit with North Korea late this month with hope that the regime will fulfill its denuclearization pledge.
"We are very hopeful that Chairman Kim will fulfill his commitment, the one that he made back in June in Singapore, to denuclearize his country," the top U.S. diplomat said, referring to the first summit between U.S. President Donald Trump and North Korean leader Kim Jong-un.
Trump announced during his State of the Union address Tuesday that the second summit will be held in Vietnam Feb. 27-28.
