LIVE: State Department briefing on Russia-North Korea leaders’ meeting confirmation.
State Department Spokesman Holds Press Briefing Amidst North Korea-Russia Meeting
State Department spokesman Matthew Miller is set to hold a highly anticipated press briefing on Monday, as news breaks of an upcoming meeting between North Korean leader Kim Jong Un and Russian President Vladimir Putin.
The focus of the meeting is expected to revolve around a potential arms deal, with Russia seeking support in its ongoing conflict with Ukraine. In return, North Korea stands to gain a much-needed economic and political boost, as confirmed by United States officials.
The United States has been a key financial supporter of Ukraine, providing billions of dollars in military aid to assist the country.
The timing of the State Department briefing is significant, coinciding with the solemn commemoration of the 22nd anniversary of the tragic 9/11 attacks. On this day, terrorists hijacked and crashed two planes into the World Trade Center in New York City, and another into the Pentagon. A fourth plane tragically went down in an open field in Somerset County, Pennsylvania, claiming the lives of all passengers and crew members on board.
