White House Press Secretary Sarah Huckabee Sanders on Thursday tweeted out two photos of newly-confirmed Secretary of State Mike Pompeo and North Korean leader Kim Jong Un from their April meeting. “Great to have Secretary Pompeo confirmed. He will do an excellent job helping @POTUS lead our efforts to denuclearize the Korean Peninsula,” she tweeted. President Trump said this week that he believes “we have a chance of doing something very special, with respect to North Korea” during his summit with the North Korean leader this summer.
