WASHINGTON - The United States is prepared to offer North Korea security assurances and bountiful private investment if it makes the strategic choice to give up its nuclear weapons, US Secretary of State Mike Pompeo pledged Sunday. No president has ever put America in a position where the North Korean leadership thought that this was truly possible." - Energy, infrastructure, meat -Pompeo dangled the prospect of a gusher of US investment in North Korea, with upgrades in energy, infrastructure, technology and agriculture, if a deal is struck. He said that means the elimination of North Korea uranium enrichment facilities and the dismantling of its nuclear weapons arsenal. The deconstruction of the nuclear weapons, I think, will be by the United States with perhaps assistance from others."
