- 5 years ago
U.S. President Donald Trump took to Twitter over the holidays after being briefed by his top nuclear envoy that returned from a visit to Seoul.
He uploaded a photo of himself with the State Department's special representative for North Korea Stephen Biegen, and National Security Council official Allison Hooker,... and wrote: "Christmas briefing with my team working on North Korea, Progress being made, Looking forward to my next summit with Chairman Kim."
This comes after Biegun announced plans to review U.S. policies on providing humanitarian aid to the regime, and said the U.S. is looking forward to discussing the next steps with Pyeongyang.
Sources also say Vice President Mike Pence recent decision to call off a speech on North Korea's human rights abuses shows the U.S. is concerned about alienating the regime and further derailing nuclear talks.
