Trump's planned meeting with Kim Jong Un a 'potential breakthrough,' top defense officials say
Senior officials at the Pentagon said Thursday night that plans for President Trump to meet with North Korean dictator Kim Jong Un in May are “good news” that could mark a “potential breakthrough.”
Fox News learned from senior leaders at the Pentagon that Washington has welcomed North Korea’s invitation to meet saying that “there’s no downside to talking.”
One senior U.S. military leader responsible for preparing for a possible military strike if needed told Fox News, “It’s good news. People should be happy.”
Despite welcoming the meeting, the Pentagon was caught “flat footed” when the news broke. Defense Secretary Jim Mattis, who was attending an off-site retreat with senior civilian leaders, was pulled from the meeting in order to respond to the White House’s late announcement.
