North Korea slams 'gangster-like' U.S. demands after satisfied Pompeo leaves

North Korea slams 'gangster-like' U.S. demands after satisfied Pompeo leavesBy Hyonhee Shin and David Brunnstrom SEOUL/TOKYO (Reuters) - North Korea accused the United States on Saturday of making "gangster-like" demands in talks over its nuclear program, contradicting U.S. Secretary of State Mike Pompeo hours after he left saying the old enemies had made progress on key issues. During a day and a half of talks in Pyongyang, Pompeo had sought to hammer out details on how to dismantle North Korea's nuclear programs, including a timeline. Hours later, Pyongyang gave a much more negative assessment, saying Washington had broken the spirit of last month's summit between U.S. President Donald Trump and North Korean leader Kim Jong Un.
