Secretary of State Mike Pompeo said in an interview broadcast Sunday that he sees a “long ways to go” to get North Korean leader Kim Jong Un to fully denuclearize.

“Here's what I'd say about North Korea,” Pompeo said on NBC’s “Meet the Press." “We came in. There was the risk of war. We've taken that threat down by taking the temperature down, by beginning this set of discussions. They have stopped missile firings and nuclear testing. That's all to the good. We got back the remains of some of our soldiers. That's to the good.”

Pompeo added, however, that administration officials have their “eyes wide open.”

“There is a long ways to go to get Chairman Kim to live up to the commitment that he made to President Trump and, indeed, to the demands of the world in the U.N. Security Council resolutions to get him to fully denuclearize,” he said.

1. No shit. NK can NEVER be trusted. Most of the world knows that.

And without outside confirmation from reliable sources, we'll never know if they're following any agreement

5. Does this mean that Trump lied to us we he said the nuclear threat was over?

7. I'm sorry to be the one to break it to you, but it sure looks like he lied to us.

Hopefully we both can process this!!

11. Do you mean that a our president would actually lie? I am just flabbergasted.

My school days taught me that George Washington set an example and code of ethics that the President would be a man of sterling quality. Seems this doesn't apply to Republican candidates as evidenced by Nixon, Reagan and the Bush cabal of law breakers and out right liars. It seems that it like a cancer that is speading to every branch of government including even the Supreme Court.

2. How long can they spin this bullshit

about denuclearization? Let's see what Pompeo just said. Trump escalated the threat of war with NK, then Trump held a photo-op with Kim and claimed to have reduced the threat of war that he initiated.

Kim promised he would denuclearize, how reassuring. What a deal maker.

4. No, no, no, Mike....

NK has stated recently they're willing to shutdown their missile and nuke sites if the US takes reciprocal action. Kim is just filling in the blank spaces in that rather vacuous "agreement" with Mangofuhrer. So what's the big deal?

6. That's crazy talk. It was a great dRump win, and he should get a nobel for it, too. Nt

8. Trump: "Chairman Kim said it will be done very quickly

before the end of the century, if not the millennium"

9. So who you believe??? The liar or the liar

Pathetic it has come to this

10. Pompeo needs to get with the program. Donald already fixed this and is waiting for Nobel Prize.
