Report: CIA Director Pompeo met with Kim Jong-un over Easter weekend

CIA Director Mike Pompeo reportedly met with Kim Jong-un over Easter weekend according to a Washington Post report.

Chicago Tribune: 

CIA Director Mike Pompeo made a top-secret visit to North Korea over Easter weekend as an envoy for President Donald Trump to meet with that country’s leader, Kim Jong Un, according to two people with direct knowledge of the trip.

The extraordinary meeting between one of Trump’s most trusted emmisaries 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, according to the two people, who requested anonymity because of the highly classified nature of the talks.

This revelation came on the same day that it was reported that North and South Korea were open to talking peace.
