Rep. Meeks: I’m Concerned About the President Trying to Utilize Release of Hostages ‘as a Real Live TV Show’

‘I think it is a good day, anytime you have hostages released’

EXCERPT:

MEEKS: "I don’t know what is going to come of that meeting. I think it is a good day. Anytime you have hostages released from — who has been held, based upon by a dictator and unhumanitarian conditions, nonhumanitarian conditions, it is important to have them coming home. And if Mr. Pompeo had something to do with that, I think that’s a good thing. But I’m concerned about the president trying to utilize this as a real live TV show and not do the substantive work that is necessary in such a summit. And so that is still a wait and see. I hope that he’s got diplomats there and that Mr. Pompeo is really prepared. And they’re going to make sure we’re talking about the complete disarmament and denuclearization of North Korea and that our partners in South Korea and in Japan are also engaged."
