彭斯對朝鮮：現在我們需要看到結果

The proposed second summit between U.S. President Donald Trump and North Korean leader Kim Jong Un must result in a detailed list of North Korean nuclear weapons sites, U.S. Vice President Mike Pence said Thursday.

In an interview with NBC News, Pence said the second Trump-Kim summit, tentatively scheduled for sometime early next year, will be where a "verifiable plan" to disclose the nuclear sites must be reached.

“I think it will be absolutely imperative in this next summit that we come away with a plan for identifying all of the weapons in question, identifying all the development sites, allowing for inspections of the sites and the plan for dismantling nuclear weapons,” Pence said.

"Now we need to see results," Pence added. But he said the U.S. will not demand that Pyongyang hand over such a list before the summit. Such a list is widely seen as the first step North Korea could take to show it is serious about giving up its nuclear arsenal.

Pence's statement is perhaps the Most specific public demand that the Trump administration has made of North Korea since Trump and Kim held a historic first summit in Singapore in June.

At that summit both sides agreed to work toward the denuclearization of the Korean peninsula and to improve ties between Washington and Pyongyang. Nuclear talks have stalled since then.

Most recently, a planned meeting between U.S. Secretary of State Mike Pompeo and a senior North Korean official was canceled, with no reason given.

But Trump has remained publicly optimistic, declaring shortly after the Singapore summit that "there is no longer a Nuclear Threat from North Korea."

Last week Trump said he is "very happy" with how the negotiations are going.

"We think it's going fine. We're in no rush. We're in no hurry," Trump said.美國副總統彭斯週四表示，美國總統特朗普與朝鮮領導人金正恩之間的第二次峯會必須有結果，就是一份詳細的朝鮮核武器試驗場所清單。

彭斯在接受美國全國廣播公司新聞採訪時表示，特朗普與金正恩的峯會暫定於明年年初舉行，屆時必須達成一項“可覈查的計劃”，公佈這些和實驗場所。

彭斯說，“我認爲，在下次首腦會議上，我們必須達成一項計劃，確定所有有關武器，確定所有研發地點，並允許對這些地點以及拆除核武器的計劃進行覈查。”

彭斯補充說，“現在我們需要看到結果。”但他表示，美國不會要求平壤在峯會前交出這份單。這被廣泛視爲朝鮮爲顯示其對放棄核武庫的認真態度可以採取的第一步。

彭斯的聲明也許是自六月份特朗普與金正恩在新加坡舉行首次歷史性峯會以來，特朗普政府對朝鮮公開提出的最具體的要求。

在那次峯會上，雙方同意努力實現朝鮮半島無核化，並改善華盛頓與平壤之間的關係。自那以後，核談判一直停滯不前。

最近，美國國務卿蓬佩奧與朝鮮高級官員之間的原定會議被取消，沒有給出理由。

不過特朗普總統一直公開保持樂觀態度，他在新加坡峯會後不久宣佈“不再有來自朝鮮的核威脅”。

特朗普總統上週表示，他對談判的進展情況“非常滿意”。他說：“我們認爲情況很好。我們不必着急。”
