Following two U.S.-North Korea summits that have made little to no progress on denuclearization of the peninsula over the past two years, Secretary of State Mike Pompeo said he’s “confident” a third will occur. During an appearance Friday on “CBS This Morning,” Pompeo expressed optimism at the possibility of another meeting between President Donald Trump and North Korean leader Kim Jong Un. But when he was pushed to specify a time frame, he wasn’t sure when it might happen, saying only that he hopes it will be soon. The talks were cut short as negotiations collapsed when, according to Trump, Kim asked for a complete and total lift of sanctions. The president said North Korea was willing to denuclearize a significant share of the areas the U.S. wanted, but it wasn’t enough.
