\"QUESTION:<\/strong> That\u2019s awesome. Okay, so the other thing: What about Iowa? Somebody was telling me something about \u2013 with this entrepreneurship, something happened in Iowa, or something to do with Iowa.<\/p>\n SECRETARY POMPEO:<\/strong> So I traveled to Iowa now a couple weeks back to talk about a little bit different piece of what the State Department does. This is assistance on trade issues. We\u2019re engaged in sharing, in this case, we were talking mostly to the agricultural community, ag manufacturers, seed producers, farmers themselves, cattle, pig folks, all the people who make America such a special place, talked to them about how the Trump administration\u2019s working to grow their businesses, to help gain access for markets for them. We\u2019ve seen that China hasn\u2019t treated the American farmer fair for an awfully long time, and President Trump is determined to fix that.<\/p>\n QUESTION:<\/strong> That\u2019s awesome. I know we only have a couple more minutes left, but \u2013 so the whole thing that you went back to North Korea before anybody else, and you have a relationship with Kim Jong-un, and now is he kind of like going back on that, or is \u2013 he doesn\u2019t want people coming to check out the nuclear sites there, or what\u2019s the \u2013 what can you tell us about that?<\/p>\n SECRETARY POMPEO:<\/strong> We believe we\u2019re still moving forward. It\u2019s certainly difficult \u2013 we knew it would be.<\/p>\n QUESTION:<\/strong> Yeah.<\/p>\n SECRETARY POMPEO:<\/strong> It\u2019s been a decades-long challenge. But we have the toughest economic sanctions in history, but the most promising diplomatic engagement in history as well. And so we made a little bit more progress in Hanoi, now three weeks back, when President Trump traveled there to meet with Chairman Kim. We\u2019ll re-engage with him. It\u2019s incredibly important that we take down the threat not only for America and for Kansas, but for the entire world.\"<\/p>",
