Despite two failed attempts at brokering a firm agreement to
denuclearize the Korean Peninsula, Secretary of State Mike Pompeo said
that he's confident a third summit will take place between President
Trump and North Korean dictator Kim Jong Un.
Speaking to "CBS This Morning" on Friday, Pompeo would not provide a clear date or location for this third meeting, but expressed hope that it would take place "soon." Pompeo acknowledged that while "we didn't get as far as the world is demanding," the two leaders left Hanoi with a "deeper understanding of each other."
"The positions that the two sides had, the two leaders were able to make progress in that respect," he said. In February, President Trump told reporters in Vietnam he and Kim were unable to sign an agreement as scheduled largely because they disagreed on sanctions and nuclear facilities.
