Pompeo regrets Trump administration ‘didn’t make more progress’ with North Korea

Secretary of State Mike Pompeo said his “regret” under the Trump administration was not convincing North Korea to give up its nuclear program. 

"We convinced him not to do more nuclear testing and more long-range missile testing, but we weren’t able to get him to give up his nuclear program​," he said. Convincing North Korea to denuclearize is a goal that has evaded presidents for years.  Pompeo reflected on his 2018 trip to the rogue nation as CIA director. He said he’d been trying to tamp down tensions after Trump had threatened "fire and fury" if North Korea continued its nuclear threats.
