TOKYO (Reuters) - Japanese Prime Minister Shinzo Abe praised on Sunday U.S. Secretary of State Mike Pompeo's conduct at denuclearisation talks with North Korean officials who accused America's top diplomat of making "gangster-like" demands.
"I would like to pay my tribute to the strong leadership you have demonstrated in negotiating with North Korea," Abe said when he met Pompeo at his residence in Tokyo. "This really shows the unwavering bond of the Japan-U.S. alliance."
