However, Kim had not been seen in public for seven days, which is awkward with every official move usually documented by news agency KCNA.
During Pompeo's trip, relations between the US and North Korea appeared to take a dive as Pyongyang accused the US of a "gangster-like mindset" during the high-level negotiations. Pompeo later described the talks he did have with Kim Yong Chol, the North Korean leader's right-hand man, as "productive", but he did not meet with Kim.
