CIA Director Mike Pompeo visited Seoul, South Korea, Monday amid rising tensions between the U.S. and North Korea. His visit comes as the THAAD missile defense system installed by the U.S. in South Korea is now operational. On Monday, President Trump said he’d be “honored” to meet North Korean President Kim Jong-un. White House Press Secretary Sean Spicer later tried to walk back the president’s comments, saying, “Clearly, the conditions are not there right now.” Meanwhile, Philippines President Rodrigo Duterte has said he might be too busy to accept President Trump’s invitation to the White House. Human rights activists criticized the invitation, saying it condones the thousands of extrajudicial killings in the Philippines since Duterte launched his so-called war on drugs.
