Pompeo says US has caught no sight of North Korean leader, adding there is a real risk of famine in the country amid coronavirus pandemic
North Korean leader Kim Jong-un meets with US Secretary of State Mike Pompeo in Pyongyang in this photo released by North Korea's Korean Central News Agency on October 7, 2018.
North Korean media has not reported on Kim's whereabouts since he presided over a meeting on April 11, provoking intense speculation about his health and raising concerns about instability in the nuclear-armed country that could affect other North Asian countries and the United States. Pompeo said the United States was also monitoring the situation more broadly in North Korea, given the risk presented by the coronavirus.
President Donald Trump met Kim three times in 2018 and 2019 in an attempt to persuade him to give up a nuclear weapons program that threatens the United States. While talks have stalled, Trump has continued to hail Kim as a friend.
