According to North Korean media, Pyongyang wants someone more careful and mature in communicating.
A North Korean official said the Hanoi summit showed talks could go wrong whenever Secretary Pompeo pokes his nose in.

Shortly before criticizing Pompeo, North Korea claimed to have tested a new tactical weapon.
It's unclear what kind of weapon.
But Kim Jong-un appears to be losing his patience.
Last week, he said Washington has until the end of this year to offer mutually acceptable terms to keep diplomacy alive.

North Korean state media reports the new tactical guided weapon has a 'powerful warhead.'
The report is vague, but the description suggests this was not a ballistic missile or nuclear device.
The news comes as the U.S. and North Korea struggle to maintain talks.
President Donald Trump has met leader Kim Jong-un twice.
But Trump appears no closer to convincing Kim to give up his nuclear weapons.
The report also puts greater pressure on South Korean President Moon Jae-in.
The public here is growing more convinced he'll be unable to maintain peace talks.
