North Korea said they wanted to drop U.S. Secretary of State Mike Pompeo from talks between the two countries and said he should be replaced by someone more mature.

The April 18 statement came hours after the country announced its first weapons test following a breakdown in talks between North Korean leader Kim Jong Un and President Donald Trump at their second summit in Vietnam. The countries failed to reach an agreement during the February talks, as both sides had differences over sanctions relief.
