U.S. President Donald Trump has confirmed that CIA Director Mike Pompeo DID make a secret trip to North Korea over the Easter weekend and met with the regime's leader Kim Jong-un.
This-- during his lunch with the visiting Japanese Prime Minister Shinzo Abe at his Mar-a-Lago resort in Florida.
"I think Mike Pompeo will go down as one of the great secretary of states. And by the way, he just left North Korea, had a great meeting with Kim Jong Un, and got along with him really well, really great. And he's that kind of a guy, he's very smart but he gets along with people."
That comment is in line with his tweet on Wednesday, where Trump hinted at the summit's ultimate goal,... saying that "Denuclearization will be a great thing for World, but also for North Korea."
The confirmation from the president and the White House of Pompeo's trip comes after Trump said a day before that the U.S. and North Korea have had direct talks "at very high levels."
Watchers say it also shows President Trump's trust in Pompeo,... who awaits Senate confirmation to succeed Rex Tillerson as Secretary of State.
