President Donald Trump is meeting North Korea’s Kim Yong Chol at the White House in the strongest sign yet that a second meeting between the president and Kim Jong Un may take place soon.
Trump and Kim Yong Chol “will discuss relations between the two countries and continued progress on North Korea’s final, fully verified denuclearization,” according to a statement Friday from Sarah Sanders. The North Korean official arrived at the White House after meeting with Secretary of State Michael Pompeo earlier in the day for less than an hour at a Washington hotel.
