WASHINGTON (AP) — The White House says Secretary of State Mike Pompeo will make another trip to North Korea as the Trump administration seeks agreement with Pyongyang on an acceptable denuclearization plan.
Press secretary Sarah Huckabee Sanders announced on Monday that Pompeo would travel to North Korea this week. The trip to Pyongyang will be Pompeo’s second as top U.S. diplomat and the first by a senior U.S. official since Trump’s historic meeting with Kim Jong Un in Singapore last month.
The trip comes as concerns mount over the North’s willingness to follow through on the agreement signed by the two leaders. U.S. officials say they are clear-eyed about the North’s past behavior in negotiations.
Pompeo last visited Pyongyang in May ahead of the Trump-Kim summit and traveled there secretly in early April while he was director of the CIA.
Why? I thought North Korea was no longer a nuclear threat since it had completely denuclearized, and that the remains of all the Korean War soldiers had been returned to their 105 year old parents. What else needs to be done?
Oh, we have more concessions to make. I see.
Is Kim striking the pose?
The WH handled this whole thing ass backwards and now it will probably backfire. Trump is an self-aggrandizing fool.
I’m sure the results of this meeting will be worth every penny of the taxpayer’s money.
Rather than a stand off it will be a bounce off. Donald couldn’t have one be cause he and Kim don’t align well.
