President Trump will meet with Kim Jong Un for a second summit later this month
Vice President Mike Pence said he believes there’s “no question” the U. S. was headed toward a confrontation with North Korea before President Trump took office. During Mr. Trump’s State of the Union address Tuesday, he said if he “had not been elected president,” the U. S. would be in a “major war with North Korea.”
“I think there’s no question that the United States was headed toward a confrontation with North Korea,” Pence told “CBS Evening News” anchor Jeff Glor. “President Obama reflected on his deep concern about North Korea I know during the transition in conversations with President Trump. And there’s no question that was the case.”
Mr. Trump announced during his address he would be meeting North Korean leader Kim Jong Un for a second summit later this month.
