FOX News: CIA Director Pompeo met with Kim Jong Un over Easter, report says

CIA Director Mike Pompeo traveled to North Korea over Easter weekend to meet with dictator Kim Jong Un, The Washington Post reported Tuesday night.

The White House and the CIA declined to comment to Fox News on the report.

Why would NK give up a nuclear program that 3 generations of Kim's have been working for and now achieved?

They would demand something major in return. What would that be?
