Pompeo accidently admits that Trump's "historic" NK-summit has no goalposts and no timeline.

https://www.rawstory.com/2018/06/mike-pompeo-says-wont-put-timeline-north-korea-denuclearization-steps-cnn/

“I am not going to put a timeline on it, whether that’s two months, six months, we are committed to moving forward in an expeditious moment to see if we can achieve what both leaders set out to do,” Pompeo told CNN, referring to a June 12 summit between Trump and North Korean leader Kim Jong Un.

Pompeo, who has been charged with leading negotiations aimed at persuading North Korea to give up a nuclear weapons program that threatens the United States, said he would “constantly reassess” whether enough progress was being made to continue talks.

...

And Trump said last week the “number-one statement” in the document he and Kim signed in Singapore was “we will immediately begin total denuclearization of North Korea,” although there was no such statement in the text.

...

Pompeo said a week ago he would likely travel back to North Korea “before too terribly long” to try to flesh out commitments made at the summit. The State Department has since said it has no travel plans to announce.

...

CNN said Pompeo suggested it was too soon to expect a detailed roadmap after 40 years of tensions but insisted that Kim had been “unequivocal” about his willingness to denuclearize.

Chump ginning up his deplorables. He and his unqualified, inexperienced cabal failed miserably.
