SEOUL - North Korea has replaced Kim Jong Un’s right-hand man who steered nuclear talks with the United States, apparently blaming him for a failed summit between the two countries, a South Korean lawmaker said on Wednesday.
He appears to have been “censured” after the second Trump-Kim summit in February failed to reach a deal on the sanctions relief Pyongyang would get in exchange for dismantling its nuclear program, Lee Hye-hoon, head of the parliamentary intelligence committee, told Reuters. The North’s foreign ministry demanded last week that Pompeo be replaced in talks by someone more mature.
Kim Yong Chol’s removal from the United Front Department, if true, would be a positive sign for future nuclear talks, said Cheong Seong-Chang, a senior fellow at South Korea’s Sejong Institute. A South Korean official told Reuters it was too early to draw any conclusion about Kim Yong Chol’s political fate or its impact on nuclear negotiations.
