Secretary of State Mike Pompeo said he expects North Korea to take the major steps toward nuclear disarmament during Donald Trump’s first term, as the U.S. president tweeted that there’s “no longer a Nuclear Threat from North Korea.”

Pompeo, speaking to reporters in Seoul on Wednesday, sought to quell criticism that North Korea didn’t make any major commitments at the summit in Singapore.
