As a follow up to that,... U.S. Secretary of State Mike Pompeo says Washington is preparing for 'any eventuality' in North Korea and is closely monitoring the regime as reports continue to swirl about Kim Jong-un's health.
Speaking on a radio program Thursday,... Pompeo said it's unusual but not unheard of that the leader of North Korea has not been heard from... or seen in public for over two weeks.
On the same day,... Pompeo said the U.S. remains fully committed to achieving North Korea's final and full denuclearization regardless of what happens within the regime.
Asked whether the U.S. knows about Kim's condition at this point,... Pompeo said he had little to add.
The U.S. Congressional Research Service reported Thursday that Kim's younger sister Kim Yo-jong is among the most likely to succeed Kim Jong-un should he become incapacitated or die.
