He said five locations were under consideration for the meeting, which is slated to take place by early June.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">White House Press Secretary Sarah Huckabee Sanders said Trump and Kim have not spoken directly.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.militarytimes.com\/flashpoints\/2018\/03\/28\/ahead-of-trump-summit-new-activity-at-north-korea-nuke-site\/\" title=\"\" class=\"\" target=\"_blank\">Kim\u2019s offer for a summit<\/a> was initially conveyed to Trump by South Korea last month, and the president shocked many when it was announced that he had accepted. U.S. officials have indicated over the past two weeks that North Korea\u2019s government has communicated directly with Washington that it is ready to discuss its nuclear weapons program.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">It would be the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.militarytimes.com\/flashpoints\/2018\/04\/09\/us-official-says-north-korean-leader-ready-to-discuss-nukes\/\" title=\"\" class=\"\" target=\"_blank\">first ever summit <\/a>between U.S. and North Korea during more than six decades of hostility since the Korean War. North Korea\u2019s nukes and capability to deliver them by ballistic missile pose a growing threat to the U.S. mainland.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The U.S. and North Korea do not have formal diplomatic relations, complicating the arrangements for contacts between the two governments. It is not unprecedented for U.S. intelligence officials to serve as a conduit for communication with Pyongyang.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">In 2014, then-Director of National Intelligence James Clapper secretly visited North Korea to bring back two American detainees.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">At his confirmation hearing last week to become the top U.S. diplomat, Pompeo played down expectations for a breakthrough deal on ending North Korea\u2019s nuclear weapons at the planned Trump-Kim summit, but said it could lay the groundwork for a comprehensive agreement on denuclearization.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cI\u2019m optimistic that the United States government can set the conditions for that appropriately so that the president and the North Korean leader can have that conversation and will set us down the course of achieving a diplomatic outcome that America and the world so desperately need,\u201d Pompeo told the Senate Foreign Relations Committee.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">After a year of escalating tensions, when North Korea conducted nuclear and long-range missile tests that drew world condemnation, Kim has pivoted to <a href=\"https:\/\/www.militarytimes.com\/flashpoints\/2018\/03\/21\/north-korea-says-its-diplomatic-moves-are-not-a-sign-of-weakness\/\" title=\"\" class=\"\" target=\"_blank\">international outreach<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The young leader met China\u2019s President Xi Jinping in Beijing in late March, Kim\u2019s first trip abroad since taking power six years ago. He is set to meet South Korean President Moon Jae-in in the demilitarized zone between the rival Koreas on April 27.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>CIA Director Mike Pompeo
