Washington (CNN) Not many Americans have shaken the hand of North Korean dictator Kim Jong Un but in new photos released on Thursday, newly confirmed Secretary of State Mike Pompeo is doing just that. They are the first publicly released photos from their clandestine meeting over the Easter weekend. Mike Pompeo shakes hands with North Korean leader Kim Jong Un in Pyongyang in a photo provided by the White House. Pompeo made the visit while he was CIA director, before he was confirmed as secretary of state. The Senate confirmed Pompeo Thursday for the top diplomatic position in the United States.
