U.S. and North Korea are secretly planning Trump and Kim Jong Un’s historic meeting Can't Post

The U.S. is holding secret talks with North Korea as the two countries prepare for a historic meeting between President Trump and Pyongyang’s Kim Jong Un, according to a report Saturday. Central Intelligence Agency director Mike Pompeo has been leading the effort and is expected to meet with his North Korean counterpart at some point, CNN reported. Pompeo will continue talks and also oversee diplomatic relations should he be confirmed by the Senate to replace Rex Tillerson as secretary of state. That process will begin in the next few weeks. Usa Marlboro Red Cigarettes For Sale Online A team at the CIA is operating through intelligence back channels to shore up preparations for the summit between Trump and Kim, officials told CNN. A location for the tête-à-tête has yet to be decided, but the North Koreans are pushing to have the meeting in their capital, Pyongyang. U.S. officials are looking at a neutral site, possibly Ulaanbaatar, the capital of Mongolia. Although the North Korean regime has not made an invitation by Kim public, officials say his aides have reaffirmed the reclusive leader is willing to discuss the denuclearization of the Korean peninsula. The softening stance follows a year of belligerent taunts and threats lobbed back and forth by Trump and Kim as North Korea increased its nuclear and missile buildup. Usa Newport 100s Cigarettes For Sale Online The invite was initially brought to the Trump administration by a South Korean envoy. While Trump has toned down his rhetoric regarding North Korea, his recent bluster about a trade war with China may play a heavy part in how the talks with Kim unfold, according to experts and data recently released by the Chinese government. Beijing appears to have gone well beyond United Nations sanctions on the Kim regime — reducing its total imports from North Korea in the first two months this year by 78.5% and 86.1% in value — a decline that began in late 2017, according to the latest trade data from China. Its exports to the North also dropped by 33% to 34% over the same time. Kim’s warming to diplomatic meetings with Trump and South Korean leaders — and a recent surprise trip to Beijing — could be due in great part to the economic pressure from China, its largest trading partner. That relationship could prove pivotal as the Trump administration and China escalate their trade clash and threaten tariffs. Usa Marlboro Gold Cigarettes For Sale Online hot sale “China will continue to use the North Korea issue as a bargaining chip with U.S., to the extent it can, and that includes the trade front,” Yun Sun, the director of the China Program at the Stimson Center, told Axios. Trump, who threatened to impose tariffs on an additional $100 billion in Chinese goods on Thursday, took to Twitter to gripe about the Red Dragon. “The United States hasn’t had a Trade Surplus with China in 40 years,” he wrote. “They must end unfair trade, take down barriers and charge only Reciprocal Tariffs.” North and South Korea held talks about establishing a telephone hotline between their leaders on Saturday as they prepare for their own sitdown. The closed-door talks at a border village were part of discussions to set up the April 27 summit between Kim and South Korean President Moon Jae-in.
