U.S. might invest billions to rebuild North Korea?

German national news (in English) on cable TV just said U.S. Secretary of State
Mike Pompeo has suggested to North Korea that we might invest billions of dollars to ‘rebuild’ North Korea.

Recent news stories have reported Trump wants to cut $7 billion from our ‘CHIP’ (Children’s Health Insurance) program.

Money for North Korea; but cut funding for American kids' health?

Mike Pompeo: US ready to help make North Korea rich if it gives up nukes

The US is willing to boost North Korea's economy and bring it on par to the rich South Korea in return for denuclearization, US top diplomat Mike Pompeo has said. The denuclearization would need to be "complete."

P.S.
There is also a 30 minute English news broadcast from Japan at 2 P.M. on the same channel M-F.
