President Trump is saying on Twitter that he has asked Secretary of State Mike Pompeo not to visit North Korea. He said that's because he feels there is a lack of progress with denuclearization. Trump emphasized that Pompeo would not go "at this time" until they can figure out the trade relationship with China. Back in June of this year, President Trump and North Korean Leader Kim Jong Un agreed to complete denuclearization at the historic summit in Singapore. Since then, North Korea has continued to import products that aid the nuclear weapons program. The president says he does not believe China is helping North Korea work towards denuclearization because of U.S. tariffs on billions of dollars' worth of Chinese goods.
