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 denuclearization of Korean peninsula…

Trump sent his “warmest greetings” to Kim Jong-un, with whom he met at a historic summit meeting in Singapore on June 12th. He is looking forward to meeting him again soon.
