Mike PompeoA senior US official says Secretary of State Mike Pompeo plans to meet with North Korean officials “at the earliest possible date” to try to implement the outcomes of the US-North Korea summit.

State Department spokesperson Heather Nauert told reporters on Thursday that both sides have been in communication since the June 12th summit.

Nauert said the timing and venue for Pompeo’s next meeting with the North’s officials had yet to be decided.

The summit’s joint statement says Pompeo is to conduct follow-up negotiations. Pompeo himself said in a speech on Monday that he might again visit North Korea.
