The leader of the U.S. delegation, Sung Kim, was called from his assignment as an envoy to the Philippines, according to the Washington Post. Sung Kim crossed into North Korea and met with the communist regime’s Vice Foreign Minister Choe Son Hu. The pair had previously negotiated a denuclearization agreement in 2005.
