North Korea has promised to halt development of intercontinental ballistic missiles, but said the pledge was dependent on “U.S. attitude,” South Korea’s Chosun Ilbo newspaper reported Thursday.
During their meeting with Kim Jong Un this week, South Korean President Moon Jae-in’s special envoys persuaded the North Korean leader to suspend and gradually discard its missile program, as well as release three U.S. citizens detained in the country, the paper said, citing multiple South Korean government sources.
