President Donald Trump will likely meet with North Korean leader Kim Jong Un in Singapore next month, according to several media reports. The White House has confirmed that a date and site have been set, but the announcement has not been made publicly. The news comes shortly after newly confirmed Secretary of State Mike Pompeo traveled to Pyongyang to meet with Kim and finalize details of the meeting. During the Wednesday visit, Pompeo secured the release of three American prisoners that had been held in North Korea. The U.S. had long demanded that North Korea free the men, Kim Dong-chul, Kim Hak-song and Tony Kim, who had been held on charges of espionage and “hostile acts.”“I’m thrilled that we have them back,” Pompeo told reporters, according to The New York Times.
