The U.S. and North Korea have canceled high-level talks in New York just a day ahead of the meeting. And while there's growing concern in Washington, South Korea maintains this rocky diplomatic path is all part of the process to a nuclear-free Korean Peninsula.

According to Yonhap News, a South Korean official said the cancelation of talks is regrettable but Seoul expects Washington and Pyongyang to reschedule soon.
These delays, the official said, are to be expected.
U.S. Secretary of State Mike Pompeo was supposed to meet top North Korean official Kim Yong-chol in New York.
Pompeo had said he hoped to learn more about how and when North Korean leader Kim Jong-un would give up his nuclear weapons.
But this cancelation is another sign North Korea and the U.S. are far from reaching any kind of deal.
