U.S. Secretary of State Mike Pompeo is expected to meet with a top North Korean official next week as they seek to arrange a second summit between the two countries' leaders, according to a South Korean report.

The meeting would likely take place on the U.S. East Coast, possibly in New York or Washington, the Yonhap news agency reported, citing a South Korean diplomatic source. The source said the meeting, which had originally been planned for the end of this month, would likely take place after the Nov. 6 midterm elections in the United States.

Asked about the report, a U.S. State Department spokeswoman told The Japan Times only that it had "no meetings to announce" at this time.
