A top envoy from North Korean leader Kim Jong Un arrived at the White House on Friday for a meeting with President Donald Trump – the first visit by such a high ranking official in at least 18 years.
The letter from Mr. Kim was described as fairly basic, according to one foreign government official who was briefed on the contents. It expresses the North Korean leader’s interest in meeting without making any significant concessions or threats. The Kim lieutenant delivering the letter, Gen. Kim Yong Chol, who is under U.S. sanctions for his role in cyberattacks against American companies, is expected to remain in the U.S. until Saturday, the official said. -WSJ
The visit follows two days of meetings in New York between the North Korean envoy and Secretary of State Mike Pompeo, who made clear that the United States will require North Korea completely denuclearize.
In comments to reporters Thursday before boarding Air Force One for a trip to meet with families affected by a school shooting earlier this month, President Trump said that talks between US and North Korean diplomats were going “very well.”
