President Trump abruptly canceled Secretary of State Mike Pompeo’s trip to North Korea Friday; blaming the suspension of negotiations on a lack of “progress” towards the denuclearization of the region.
The Commander-in-Chief unveiled his decision on social media Friday afternoon, saying “I have asked Secretary of State Mike Pompeo not to go to North Korea, at this time, because I feel we are not making sufficient progress with respect to the denuclearization of the Korean Peninsula.”
“Additionally, because of our much tougher Trading stance with China, I do not believe they are helping with the process of denuclearization as they once were (despite the UN Sanctions which are in place). Secretary Pompeo looks forward to going to North Korea in the near future, most likely after our Trading relationship with China is resolved. In the meantime I would like to send my warmest regards and respect to Chairman Kim. I look forward to seeing him soon!” he added.
Pompeo was set to travel to the region as early as next week to advance the administration’s goal of the complete denuclearization of Kim’s regime.
