U.S. Secretary of State Mike Pompeo will travel to the North Korean capital of Pyongyang on Thursday.

The top American diplomat is expected to meet with officials there until Saturday. President Donald Trump’s administration announced the trip this week.

A U.S. delegation, led by U.S. Ambassador to the Philippines Sung Kim, met with North Korean officials on Sunday in the truce village of Panmunjom. It marked the first known meeting between U.S. and North Korean officials since Trump met with North Korean leader Kim Jong Un on June 12 in Singapore.

Speaking on national television on Sunday, national security adviser John Bolton spoke about the idea of denuclearization for the North. He said North Korea’s weapons program could largely be ended in a year.
