Mike Pompeo met with Kim Jong Un in North Korea last week. Meeting went very smoothly and a good relationship was formed. Details of Summit are being worked out now. Denuclearization will be a great thing for World, but also for North Korea!

Official Statements
Calling on Congress to Fix Loopholes in our Immigration Laws
From the office of the press secretary:
YesterdaysSupreme Court ruling preventing the removal of certain aliens convicted of aggravated felonies that constitute crimes of violencehighlights the danger posed by congressional inaction. This case, first argued and briefed under the Obama Administration,gives Congress a clear opportunity to finally close dangerous loopholes: Congress should immediately pass a fix to close these loopholesso that the United States can promptly remove violent criminal aliens from our country. Unless Congress acts, the United States Government will be unable toremove from our communities many non-citizens convicted of violent felonies, including in some cases domestic assault and battery, burglary, and child abuse. It is a matter of vital public safety for Congress to act now.
