North Korea "dangled" a historic meeting with US officials during the
Winter Olympics but cancelled at the last minute, the Trump
administration has revealed.
Ahead of Mike Pence's visit to
Pyeongchang, where the Vice President led the US delegation to the
opening ceremony, officials said they had requested no meeting with
North Korea - but left open the possibility one could occur.
Now,
more than a week after Mr Pence returned to the US, the State
Department says a meeting had been discussed before North Korea "walked
away".
Mr Pence had been "ready to take this opportunity" but
would have used it to insist Pyongyang abandon its nuclear weapons and
ballistic missile programmes, a State official said on Tuesday night.
