One of the closest allies of Kim Jong Un is on his way to Washington Friday to bring a letter to President Trump. The North Korean leader sent this letter, said Mike Pompeo, Secretary of State. He added that good progress was made in negotiations between the two sides to bring back a nuclear summit.
At a news conference in New York, Pompeo told media that he is confident that the U.S. is going in the right direction. Pompeo had a meeting with Kim Yong Chol, the former North Korean military intelligence chief, on Thursday. Pompeo stated that the two countries are at a crucial moment in history. He thinks that it would be a waste to let this opportunity pass.
Summit is Not Definite
The Secretary of State stated that he is not able to announce if the summit will be held on June 12th in Singapore. He also doesn’t know if Trump will make a decision after he reads the North Korean’s leader letter. However, Pompeo had the most positive comments from all of the U.S. officials since the President canceled the meeting last week.
