President Donald Trump on Friday nixed plans for Secretary of State Mike Pompeo to travel to North Korea to hold a next round of denuclearization talks, citing insufficient progress on the issue.

"I have asked Secretary of State Mike Pompeo not to go to North Korea, at this time, because I feel we are not making sufficient progress with respect to the denuclearization of the Korean Peninsula," Trump tweeted on Friday. "Secretary Pompeo looks forward to going to North Korea in the near future, most likely after our Trading relationship with China is resolved."

Despite the cancellation, Trump sent his "warmest regards and respect" to Kim and said he looks "forward to seeing him soon!"

"Who could have known denuclearization could be so difficult!"

He's got far too much on his domestic plate to deal with small potatoes like antagonistic nuclear powers. There's a witch hunt afoot that needs to be squashed and flippers to be dealt with for not being loyal and instead ratting him out!

Maxine Waters: "Dog!"

Kim Jong Un: "Warmest regards!"

This is so fucking ridiculous.

War is good for reelection so I feel bad for whatever target this administration conjures up, even if its NK.
