North Korea says talks with US Secretary of State Mike Pompeo were 'regrettable'

High-level talks between the United States and North Korea have appeared to hit a snag as Pyongyang said a visit by US Secretary of State Mike Pompeo had been "regrettable" and accused Washington of making "gangster-like" demands to pressure the country into abandoning its nuclear weapons.

The statement from the North came just hours after Mr Pompeo wrapped up two days of talks with senior North Korean officials without meeting North Korean leader Kim Jong Un but with commitments for new discussions on denuclearisation and the repatriation of the remains of American soldiers killed during the Korean War.

While Mr Pompeo offered a relatively positive assessment of his meetings, North Korea's Foreign Ministry said in a statement the US betrayed the spirit of last month's summit between President Donald Trump and Mr Kim by making "unilateral and gangster-like" demands on "CVID," or the complete, verifiable and irreversible denuclearisation of North Korea.

It said the outcome of the follow-up talks was "very concerning" because it has led to a "dangerous phase that might rattle our willingness for denuclearisation that had been firm.

"We had expected that the US side would offer constructive measures that would help build trust based on the spirit of the leaders' summit.

we were also thinking about providing reciprocal measures," said the statement, released by an unnamed spokesman and carried by the North's official Korean Central News Agency.

"However, the attitude and stance the United States showed in the first high-level meeting (between the countries) was no doubt regrettable," the spokesman said.

"Our expectations and hopes were so naive it could be called foolish.

According to the spokesman, during the talks with Pompeo the North raised the issue of a possible declaration to formally end the 1950-53 Korean War, which concluded with an armistice and not a peace treaty.

It also offered to discuss the closure of a missile engine test site that would "physically affirm" a move to halt the production of intercontinental range ballistic missiles and setting up working-level discussions for the return of US war remains.

However, the spokesman said the United States came up with a variety of "conditions and excuses" to delay a declaration on ending the war.

The spokesman also downplayed the significance of the United States suspending its military exercises with South Korea, saying the North made a larger concession by blowing up the tunnels at its nuclear test site.

In criticising the talks with Mr Pompeo, however, the North carefully avoided attacking the President, saying "we wholly maintain our trust toward President Trump," but also that Washington must not allow "headwinds" against the "wills of the leaders".

'A great deal of progress'.

In comments to reporters before leaving Pyongyang, Mr Pompeo said his conversations with senior North Korean official Kim Yong Chol had been "productive," conducted "in good faith" and that "a great deal of progress" had been made in some areas.

He stressed "there's still more work to be done" in other areas, much of which would be done by working groups that the two sides have set up to deal with specific issues.

Mr Pompeo said a Pentagon team would be meeting with North Korean officials on or about July 12 at the border between North and South Korea to discuss the repatriation of remains and that working level talks would be held soon on the destruction of North Korea's missile engine testing facility.

In the days following his historic June 12 summit with Kim Jong Un in Singapore, Mr Trump announced the return of the remains and the destruction of the missile facility had been completed or were in progress.

Mr Pompeo, however, said more talks were needed on both.

'I'm Not That Person the President of the United States Says I Am.' Man Who Was Subjected to Racist - Duration: 6:29.

 A Mexican-American man who was the target of a racist rant says he tried to stand up for "everybody that is scared to speak up" during the chilling encounter

 Esteban Guzman, a 27-year-old California native, said he was working with his mother in a yard when an unidentified white woman approached them and began yelling, calling them "rapists," "animals," "drug dealers" and "illegals," while mentioning President Donald Trump

Video of the encounter, which was posted on Twitter, has been viewed nearly 5 million times

 Guzman, who works as a systems administrator and a part-time landscaper, told CNN on Monday the woman yelled at them, "You're all illegal

Go back to Mexico."  "And I say, 'I am a United States citizen. What are you talking about?'" Guzman said in the interview

 The video does not show how the encounter began or how it ended, but Guzman said he told the woman: "I am not the person that, you know, that the President of the United States says I am

"  "I feel like people are a little more entitled to say, 'Hey … go back to Mexico,'" Guzman told CNN

"And I'm like, 'Why? I live here. I have a mortgage here.'"  In an interview with The Guardian, Guzman said incidents like this one have become "increasingly regular" since Trump became president

When Trump announced his run for presidency in June 2015, he claimed Mexicans coming to the U

S. "have lots of problems, and they're bringing those problems with us." "They're bringing drugs," Trump continued

"They're bringing crime. They're rapists. And some, I assume, are good people."  The video showed the woman flipping her middle finger in Guzman's face as he asked, "Why do you hate us?"  "Because you're Mexican," she responded

She then called Guzman and his mother "rapists," "animals" and "drug dealers."  "How many people have I raped?" Guzman asked the woman

"How many drugs have I dealt?"  "Even the President of the United States says you're a rapist," the woman responded

She went on to appear to mock Guzman's mother for speaking Spanish as Guzman explained they were working hard while landscaping

Democrats are the problem. They don't care about crime and want illegal immigrants, no matter how bad they may be, to pour into and infest our Country, like MS-13

They can't win on their terrible policies, so they view them as potential voters!  — Donald J

Trump (@realDonaldTrump) June 19, 2018  Trump has used tough rhetoric to describe immigrants throughout his campaign and into his tenure in the White House

Last week, the President used the word "infest" to describe illegal immigrants entering the U

S. Critics jabbed the President for his "dehumanizing" language and rhetoric — particularly as more than 2,300 migrant children were separated from their parents along the U

S.-Mexico border as part of his administration's zero-tolerance policy. (Trump has since signed an executive order to halt the policy, but hundreds of children are still separated from their parents as a result

)  Guzman told CNN he believes he stood up for voiceless immigrants during the encounter

 "When I stood up for my mother, I stood up for everybody that is scared to speak up," Guzman told CNN

"I stood up for the little people — for the people that don't have a voice in this country

"
