On Friday, US President Donald Trump ordered the cancellation of Pompe's trip for next week. According to White House Chief, insufficient progress has been made in the Korean peninsula's denuclearization process, on which the leader of the DPRK, Kim Jong-un, reached an agreement at the June summit in Singapore.
"Such a deed proves that the United States is carrying out criminal conspiracies to start a war against the DPRK and commit a crime that deserves a merciless punishment" wrote a diary. "We do not have enough to notice the disingenuous talks of the US dealing with the secret exercises of special units, including those for killing people, while they have a smile on the face of the dialogue." said the North Korean newspaper. A spokeswoman from the US embassy in Reuters in South Korea told Reuters that he has no information about the exercises Rodong Sinmun mentions.
