President Donald Trump confirmed on Wednesday that Mike Pompeo, sitting head of the CIA and Trump's nominee for the vacant Secretary of State role, traveled to North Korea to meet with its leader, Kim Jong Un.
Not only did the head of the CIA, an agency North Korean propaganda alleged was plotting to kill Kim one year ago, but according to Trump, the two men interacted "very smoothly" and formed a "good relationship."
"Mike Pompeo met with Kim Jong Un in North Korea last week. 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!" Trump tweeted.
The news of Pompeo's secret trip comes after South Korea confirmed that it's in talks to end the 68-year long Korean war with a peace deal, which Trump gave his blessing.
Other reports indicate that Trump has a plan to denuclearize North Korea by 2020, but experts remain deeply skeptical of Kim's intentions.
Kim, since the Winter Olympics in South Korea, and his announced completion of an intercontinental ballistic missile program that can reach the US with nuclear payloads, has turned a corner and opened himself up diplomatically like never before.
