Quote:U.S. Secretary of State Mike Pompeo is on his way to North Korea to prepare for the summit with the country's leader Kim Jong Un, President Trump announced Tuesday. Pompeo is expected to return with three Americans detained in North Korea, sources familiar with the matter tell CBS News.

The Washington Post first reported that Pompeo could return with the prisoners. Two of the three detainees, Tony Kim and Kim Hak Song, have been held since 2017. The third detainee, Dong Chul Kim, was arrested in October 2015 and sentenced to 10 years in prison with hard labor for espionage.

Speaking to reporters Tuesday, Pompeo said he'd be meeting with senior North Korean leaders but didn't know if he'd be meeting with Kim. "We're prepared to meet with anyone who is speaking on behalf of the North Korean government and can give us solid answers so we're prepared," he said.
