Skepticism is growing North Korean leader Kim Jong-un will dismantle his coveted nuclear weapons program.
But Seoul is trying to brush off any negativity.
The South Korean foreign ministry says diplomacy will continue with Pyongyang and lead to a peninsula free of nuclear weapons.
The remarks from Seoul come after U.S. director of National Intelligence Dan Coats said it's unlikely North Korea will ever give up its nuclear weapons.
His comments reportedly enraged President Trump, who's preparing to meet leader Kim for a second summit before the end of next month.
