President Trump on Wednesday commented on Mike Pompeo's meeting with Kim Jong Un.
After the Washington Post reported that CIA Director Mike Pompeo recently visited North Korea, President Trump posted a tweet on Wednesday morning, confirming the meeting.
"Mike Pompeo met with Kim Jong Un in North Korea last week," Trump wrote on Twitter Wednesday morning. "Meeting went very smoothly and a good relationship was formed. Details of Summit are being worked out now. Denuclearization will be a great thing for World, but also for North Korea!"
According to the Post, "The extraordinary meeting between one of Trump's most trusted emissaries and the authoritarian head of a rogue state was part of an effort to lay the groundwork for direct talks between Trump and Kim about North Korea's nuclear weapons program."
Trump's tweet comes after his remark on Tuesday that the US and North Korea have had direct talks at "extremely high levels."
"I really believe there is a lot of goodwill," Trump added. "A lot of good things are happening. We'll see what happens."
