Sources tell CBS news a setback unfolded after the national security team met at the white house last Friday, and reviewed that letter from North Korea which reportedly said the north wanted the U.S. to sign a peace treaty to formally end the Korean war. Secretary Pompeo still remained optimistic after that, but it’s unclear when negotiations will resume.” [This Morning, CBS, 8/29/18; VIDEO]
