HELSINKI, Finland — U.S. Secretary of State Mike Pompeo says teams from North Korea and the United States are in Sweden's capital to resume diplomacy talks on Pyongyang's nuclear program.

Pompeo, who was in Greece for the last leg of a European tour, said it's too early to know if talks in Stockholm on Saturday will yield progress but he was hopeful they would.

He said: "We came with a set of ideas."
