But in November, as talks stalled, the North Koreans canceled a planned meeting between U.S. Secretary of State Mike Pompeo and the North's chief nuclear negotiator, Kim Yong Chol.

但去年11月，由于谈判陷入停滞，朝鲜取消了美国国务卿蓬佩奥与朝鲜首席核谈判代表金英哲原定的会晤。

Just over a week later, North Korea's No.2 official, Kim Yong Chol, walked into the Oval Office and personally presented Trump with a letter the size of a legal pad.

一周多后，朝鲜二号人物金英哲也走进了总统形办公室，亲自向特朗普递交了一封便笺簿大小的信件。
