US Secretary of State Mike Pompeo met with North Korean leader Kim Jong Un on Sunday in what he called a “good, productive conversation.” The top US diplomat met with Kim in Pyongyang for two hours before Pompeo flew to South Korea Sunday afternoon for a two-day visit. In South Korea, Pompeo appeared alongside President Moon Jae-in, who said the world wanted to know the results of the Pyongyang meeting, “so if the secretary can disclose the results, please tell us.” “I don’t have much to add,” Pompeo replied. “I will surely tell you in private about our conversation. I thought we had a good, productive conversation, and as President Trump has said, there are many steps along the way, and we took one of them today, another step forward.” The secretary of state added that South Korea has been an integral part of negotiations aimed at denuclearizing North Korea, and he passed along Trump’s gratitude for the country’s efforts. While in Pyongyang, Pompeo was expected to lay the groundwork for a second summit between Kim and the US President. Moon said he hoped that Pompeo’s visit and a second US-North Korea summit would provide a chance to take “a decisive step forward in the denuclearization and peace process on the Korean Peninsula.” In Tokyo on Saturday, Pompeo promised he would bring up Japan’s concerns about North Korea’s alleged abductions of Japanese citizens and its nuclear ambitions.
