We have the first official comment from North Korea since the Hanoi summit.
The North's Deputy Foreign Minister says Kim Jong-un could decide to end denuclearization talks with the U.S.
According to Russian news agency TASS, Choe Son-hui told reporters at a news conference in Pyeongyang... that the North has no intention of giving in to the demands made in Hanoi.
She blamed Secretary of State Mike Pompeo and National Security Adviser John Bolton for creating a hostile atmosphere at the summit,... which she said led to the disappointing outcome.
Choe says the North Korean leader will soon announce what the regime's plans are going forward, which is likely to include whether it's considering another missile launch.
