Pompeo says hopes talks with Kim in Pyongyang will lead to denuclearization

U.S. Secretary of State Mike Pompeo said on Sunday he expects to hold talks with North Korean leader Kim Jong Un that he hopes will lead North Korea to give up a nuclear weapons program that potentially threatens the United States. Pompeo posted a photograph of himself on Twitter on Sunday waving from the door of his U.S. government aircraft in Tokyo with the caption: "Next stop #Pyongyang to meet with Chairman Kim and continue our work to fulfill the commitments made @potus and Chairman Kim at the #singaporesummit." Pompeo, who was making his fourth visit to Pyongyang, said on Twitter on Friday he would "continue our efforts to build out a pathway for the denuclearization of (North Korea)." An official of the State Department was not immediately able to confirm Pompeo's arrival in Pyongyang, from where outside communication can be limited.
