After Trump’s Historic DMZ Day, Pompeo Says Kim Wants to Get ‘Something Very Significant’ Done

(CNSNews.com) – After President Trump on Sunday became the first sitting U.S. president to step foot on North Korean soil, Secretary of State Mike Pompeo said it was his impression from Trump’s historic encounter with Kim Jong Un that Kim “really wants to get something done, something very significant.”

Pompeo told reporters talks between the two sides would resume around mid-July and that sanctions against Pyongyang remain in place in the meantime. He reiterated that Trump has said he is “in no hurry” to achieve an agreement.

He also said Trump and Kim had agreed that it was up to each of them to decide who was leading their negotiation effort. In April the Stalinist regime demanded that Pompeo be removed as head of the U.S. team, unhappy at public comments he had made about Kim.

“As the president said to Chairman Kim, they get to choose who will negotiate on their behalf,” Pompeo said, adding that Kim had agreed with that. more
