Just hours after he was confirmed to be secretary of state, the White House released photos from Mike Pompeo's meeting with North Korean leader Kim Jong Un.
Press Secretary Sarah Huckabee Sanders tweeted pictures that showed the two men shaking hands during the meeting earlier this month.
"He will do an excellent job helping POTUS lead our efforts to denuclearize the Korean Peninsula." Sanders said of Pompeo.
Pompeo, who was CIA director at the time, traveled to Pyongyang over Easter weekend after being nominated for secretary of state. President Trump later confirmed that the meeting took place.
"Meeting went very smooth and a good relationship was formed," Trump tweeted at the time.
Trump and Kim Jong Un are expected to meet sometime in late May or June.
