ELECTION/MIKE POMPEO/NORTH KOREA/TRUMP AS PRESIDENT: “North Korea is getting increasingly angry at the US, as talks are deadlocked and tensions between the two countries are on the rise, a source familiar with the discussions told CNN. US and foreign sources close to the talks paint a picture that’s starkly different from the image President Donald Trump sought to convey Wednesday [11-7-18], when he told reporters the administration is ‘very happy with how it’s going with North Korea. We think it’s going fine.’ Trump had been asked about the administration’s announcement, in the middle of the night as Tuesday’s [11-6-18] midterm elections results were coming in, that Secretary of State Mike Pompeo’s Thursday [11-8-18] meeting with a key aide to North Korean leader Kim Jong Un had been postponed…South Korean Foreign Minister Kang Kyung-wha told lawmakers in Seoul Tuesday that she was told the North Koreans asked the US to postpone the talks, citing their busy schedules. A senior US official told CNN the North Korean delegation called Tuesday to postpone the meeting, but did not offer a clear explanation.”
