Announcing the meeting on Fox News Sunday, Pompeo said the meeting with the Vice Chairman of the Central Committee of the Worker’s Party of Korea will be “a good opportunity to continue the denuclearization discussions” underway since US President Donald Trump’s historic summit in June with North Korean leader Kim Jong Un. Pompeo’s announcement follows a North Korean foreign ministry statement that the North will “seriously” consider reviving its nuclear weapons program unless US sanctions are lifted.
