CIA Director Mike Pompeo, who went on a secret mission to North Korea early this month, had "a great meeting" with North Korean leader Kim Jong Un, US President Donald Trump said today.

"Mike Pompeo did go there (Pyongyang). He wasn't supposed to meet with Kim Jong Un but he did," he told Fox and Friends.

Trump called into the daily morning show and said he has incredible pictures of Pompeo and Kim meeting. He said he would love to release those pictures. Those pictures have not been released yet.

"They had a great meeting... It was very, very secret -- very, very quiet," Trump said in response to a question.

Trump has accepted an invitation to meet the North Korean leader. The date and venues of the meeting is being looked into.

"We have five locations, and that will all be narrowed down," he said. "When I came into office people thought we were going into nuclear war, OK, and now they're saying wow."
"Look, it was very, very nasty with little rocket man and the buttons... everybody said this guy's going to get us into nuclear war," he said. "Let me tell you the nuclear war would have happened if you have weak people."
