North Korean Vice Foreign Minister Choe Son Hui told reporters and diplomats in Pyongyang that the U.S. has thrown away a 'golden opportunity.'


According to the Associated Press, she was referring to the recent Hanoi summit, where President Donald Trump and leader Kim Jong-un failed to reach any agreement.


Choe said it's up to Kim whether to continue talks and a moratorium on weapons testing.


She said he'll make a decision soon.


According to Trump, Kim asked him in Vietnam to lift all international sanctions against North Korea.


But Pyongyang claims it only wanted some sanctions lifted.


Either way, they're unable to agree on how to rid the Korean Peninsula weapons.


And diplomacy is once again looking very unstable.
