(File photos)YOKOTA AIR BASE, JAPAN: US Secretary of State Mike Pompeo was heading to North Korea on Tuesday to finalise details of a planned historic summit between President Donald Trump and North Korea leader Kim Jong Un. His trip comes just days after North Korea expressed displeasure with Washington for comments suggesting that massive US pressure had pushed Kim to the negotiating table. One senior official said Trump and Pompeo were looking for "a bold approach" that would fundamentally alter the security situation. A North Korean foreign ministry spokesman warned the claims are a "dangerous attempt" to ruin a budding detente on the Korean Peninsula after the summit between Kim and South Korean President Moon Jae-in.
