Former CIA Director and Secretary of State Mike Pompeo spotlights his clandestine 2018 trip to North Korea to meet with leader Kim Jong Un in his soon to be released memoir
The memoir – which the publishers say shows how Pompeo "spearheaded the Trump Administration's most significant foreign policy breakthroughs" – comes ahead of a potential 2024 Republican presidential campaign by Pompeo, who’s said he’s seriously considering a White House run.
"It wasn’t the Easter weekend I had planned," Pompeo wrote in an excerpt shared first with Fox News on Tuesday. "My clandestine mission began on Good Friday, March 30, 2018, as I departed Andrews Air Force Base. My destination: Pyongyang, North Korea. I was headed to one of the darkest places on earth to meet with Chairman Kim Jong Un, its darkest inhabitant."
