Kim also said he was confident relations between the two countries would “continue to develop favorably in the future” and expected a second summit with Donald Trump to be held “sooner or later”.

The two countries will soon begin talks to negotiate the particulars of the meeting, following the historic summit in Singapore in June, according to South Korea’s presidential office which was briefed by US officials.

“I look forward to seeing Chairman Kim again, in the near future,” Trump tweeted saying Pompeo had a “good meeting”.

Kim is expected visit Russia soon and Chinese president Xi Jinping may make a trip to North Korea, according to remarks by South Korean president Moon Jae-in who met with Pompeo late Sunday.

Kim is a snake. This comedy of his with Pres. Moon of SK is designed to drive a wedge between SK and Japan, and the US.

I still don’t trust the shifty-eyed NK bastard, but am pleased Pompeo continues his stellar work to advance the Trump foreign policy. Patience, policy and prayers

Not relevant.

POSTWAR Germany and Japan BOTH suffered radical “regime change” and then the new democratic leaders could fully embrace the US.

Not so North Korea. Their regime will remain intact. It cannot be trusted. They will not give up nukes. This is going nowhere. Patience only plays to their age old strategy through all US presidents to tie it up in meaningless diplomatic stalling and obfuscation, hiding stuff and cheating.

This is so predictable, it makes one want to vomit. It is the same old damn thing.
