Trump-North Korea meeting: US 'knows the risks', says spy chief

CIA chief Mike Pompeo has safeguarded Donald Trump's choice to meet North Korean pioneer Kim Jong-un, saying the president comprehends the dangers. 

Mr Trump "isn't doing this for theater, he is going there to take care of an issue," the government agent boss disclosed to Fox News Sunday. 

The president has said the summit could deliver the "best arrangement for the world". 

In any case, faultfinders have cautioned that if the discussions go ineffectively, the two countries will be in a more regrettable position than previously. 

No sitting US president has ever met a North Korean pioneer. Mr Trump purportedly acknowledged the offer to do as such on the spot when it was transferred by South Korean agents on Thursday, shocking his own particular organization. 

Endeavors to arrange help for-demilitarization bargains have bombed over and over since 2003, when the North hauled out of the Nuclear Non-Proliferation Treaty (NPT). 

Mr Pompeo revealed to CBS the organization had its eyes "totally open" to the test of managing North Korea. 

He said the nation was getting together now since US-drove sanctions have battered it financially. 

"At no other time have we had the North Koreans in a position where their economy was at such hazard, where their authority was under such weight," he revealed to Fox News. 

Another best White House official, Treasury Secretary Steve Mnuchin, focused on the "unmistakable" goal of the discussions was disposing of atomic weapons on the Korean promontory, and repeated that the US anticipates that there will be no rocket or atomic test in front of the gathering.
