 Réamhamharc ||||| Joseph Y. Yun, who retired in February as the administration’s envoy to North Korea, said Mr. Trump’s tweet was a belated public recognition of “what we’ve known for a long time: The negotiations are not going well on the denuclearization front.” 
 
 “Washington must now fundamentally rethink how to approach North Korea,” he said. 
 
 Mr. Trump’s about-face was also a setback for Mr. Pompeo, who announced the appointment on Thursday of Stephen E. Biegun, a Ford Motor executive, as his special envoy. Mr. Pompeo cast the move as further evidence of the administration’s commitment to reach a deal with North Korea. 
 
 The tweets carried an echo of Mr. Trump’s handling of Mr. Pompeo’s predecessor, Rex W. Tillerson, last October. After Mr. Tillerson promoted his efforts to open a channel to North Korea, the president tweeted that he was “wasting his time trying to negotiate with Little Rocket Man.” 
 
 It was only the second time that Mr. Trump had tweeted anything other than praise for Mr. Pompeo. On Wednesday, the president tweeted that he had directed his secretary of state to scrutinize what he said was the targeting of white farmers in South Africa — a request seen by many as embracing a false narrative spread by white supremacists. 
 
 By all accounts, Mr. Pompeo has a much better relationship with Mr. Trump than Mr. Tillerson did. He has been in sync with him on the negotiating strategy with North Korea, and White House officials said that Mr. Pompeo was with the president when he sent the tweets. 
 
 Mr. Trump’s cancellation of the trip mirrored his letter to Mr. Kim in May, in which he pulled out of a planned summit meeting with him in Singapore after a series of disagreements. Mr. Kim sent an emissary to Washington to smooth things over, and the meeting was quickly reinstated. 
 
 “You can only run this play so many times,” said Evan S. Medeiros, a former senior Asia adviser to President Barack Obama. “It is much less likely to work this time. In June, Kim wanted the summit; now he can take or leave a nuclear deal.” ||||| Washington (CNN) Secretary of State Mike Pompeo said Thursday that he and his newly announced special representative to North Korea, Stephen Biegun, will be traveling to Pyongyang next week. 
 
 It will be Pompeo's fourth trip to Pyongyang, but, while officials hope he will have the opportunity to engage directly with North Korean leader Kim Jong Un, State Department spokesperson Heather Nauert said later on Thursday there "are no plans for a meeting" with Kim on the trip. 
 
 Kim snubbed Pompeo during the last round of meetings in North Korea early last month, which sources told CNN went "as badly as it could have gone." 
 
 Pompeo announced the hiring of Biegun at the State Department on Thursday. He's a former auto executive at Ford Motor Co. and a former senior staff member to then-national security adviser Condoleezza Rice in the George W. Bush administration who was rumored to be a possible candidate to replace former national security adviser H.R. McMaster.

 Biegun assumes the role as special envoy to North Korea at a time when talks between the two countries appear to have stalled over the issue of denuclearization.

– Secretary of State Mike Pompeo on Thursday announced plans to travel to North Korea with newly hired special envoy Stephen Biegun next week. On Friday, however, President Trump said he asked Pompeo to cancel the trip. The reason for what the New York Times calls the "abrupt cancelation": "I feel we are not making sufficient progress with respect to the denuclearization of the Korean peninsula," the president tweeted, adding that he does not think China is helping with the denuclearization process "because of our much tougher trading stance." Pompeo "looks forward to going to North Korea in the near future, most likely after our trading relationship with China is resolved," continues Trump. It would have been Pompeo's fourth trip to Pyongyang, per CNN. During a July trip, North Korean leader Kim Jong Un "snubbed" the secretary of state and the visit went "as badly as it could have gone," sources told the network.
