Kim Jong Un understands phased denuclearization ‘failed repeatedly’ – Pompeo

"Both sides have to be prepared to take truly historic measures to achieve this historic outcome"

The assessment comes despite Kim calling last week for "phased and synchronous measures (towards denuclearization) in a responsible manner” in his second meeting with Chinese President Xi Jinping.
