stage, the delegation isn t talk u talking about what they achieved. they put the issues on the table. complete de-nuclearization, security aspoourns shurnss, what will they offer in return for de-nuclearizing and also the returns of the remains of u.s. servicemen killed during korean war. they were all on the table according to a spokesperson. mr. pompeo was firm in what he wanted to get. at this teenage, all they say is he was very firm in his conversations. so we now wait for mr. pompeo to land in tokyo. he has left after meetings with come yong chul.
