Upon completion of negotiations with Trump, Pompeo was invited by Kim Yong Chol and the DPRK delegation to the working lunch, said the deputy head of the press service of the State Department Robert Palladino.

According to unconfirmed reports, Kim Yong Chol can also meet with the director of the CIA Gina Haspel, who in recent months began to play a more active role in negotiations with the DPRK, writes The Washington Post .

On January 6, Trump said that the United States was negotiating about the place of his second meeting with the leader of the DPRK. At the same time, he emphasized that there is no question of lifting the sanctions from the DPRK.

Earlier, Kim Jong -un, in his New Year's appeal to the residents of the DPRK , said that he was ready to meet with Trump at any time, but warned the United States that they should not have the patience of the DPRK in anticipation of the response steps of their negotiations in the removal of international sanctions, otherwise his country would be forced to "inevitably look for an alternative course."

The next day, Trump said that he received another letter from the DPRK leader, calling him wonderful.

Historical summit and its consequences

Recall, according to the results of the first in the history of the Semlian of the US leaders and the DPRK, held in Singapore on June 12, Trump and Kim Jong -un signed a joint document in which Pyongyang assumed the Denuclearization of the Korean Peninsula in exchange for guarantees of security guarantees by Washington. However, the parties did not discuss any deadlines, agreeing that this should be determined during subsequent negotiations.

In mid -November, Kim Jong -un personally instructed the tests of the new advanced tactical weapons, which were successfully conducted at the training ground at the Academy of Defense Sciences. In addition, it was reported that the Washington Center for Strategic and International Studies found 13 missile bases in the DPRK, the existence of which is hidden in Pyongyang.

US Secretary of State Mike Pompeo last year several times visited Pyongyang. His next meeting with Kim Yong Chople was planned at the beginning of November, but then suddenly was canceled due to the "discrepancy of the graphs."

On December 5, Trump's assistant to National Security John Bolton said that, according to the American leader, Kim Jong-un does not fulfill his obligations, so it is necessary to conduct another American-Sevan-Korean summit.
