North Korea’s president Kim Jong Un reportedly executed several top officials in March after they failed to reach an agreement with President Trump during a second summit between the two leaders, Bloomberg reports, citing South Korean newspaper Chosun. The officials were reportedly killed by a firing squad in Pyongyang, according to the Mirror.
North Korea’s special envoy to the U.S., Kim Hyok Chol, was executed along with four additional foreign ministry officials involved in the Hanoi, Vietnam, summit.
Chol had been in charge of working-level negotiations for the attempted Hanoi summit in February and had been negotiating with U.S. special representative for North Korea Stephen Biegun.
Kim Yong Chol, one of Kim Jong Un’s top deputies, was sentenced to hard labor. Chol was best known as being the official who delivered the “big beautiful letter” to President Trump.
Kim Sung-hye, another negotiator at the talks and Shin Hye-yong, who worked as an interpreter in Hanoi, were also sent to political prison camps. Hye-yong is accused of “undermining the authority of North Korea’s leader” by making a mistake while translating.
Kim Jong Un also reportedly told his sister Kim Yo Jong, who also participated in the summit, “to keep a low profile”.

Wonder how this news will sound in the twitterverse . . .
Trump should now refuse to negotiate. Give a list of terms, and nothing else
To negotiate with people that execute those sent to negotiate simply is untenable. The negotiators from the US would be in an impossible position- they would know that refusal to give in to NK demands will result in the deaths of those they are speaking to. It is an impossible situation, and the US must not go there.
Fucking animals.
Kim’s reasons for executing these guys, if true, means he should have had himself executed as well. We could only hope. Sorry excuse for a human being. Many animals have more morals than he has.
I thing they were gay.
Well, that’s a horse of a different color.
I used to be a professional salesperson and made a lot of money doing it. Pres Trump is actually a salesperson extraordinaire. My hat is off.
I admire the decisiveness and clear, 2D chess. Were any of them son-in-laws?
Now that’s how you do government! The next muthafukkers he sends to negotiate are gonna be playin’ hardball!
Trump should execute Bolton and Pompeo to one-up Kim.
You just won the Internet. My first belly laugh of the day.
Yes, comment of the month on the last day, a decisive winner.
Atta Boy, Bob! Bravo! Don’t forget Elliott Abrams.
Maybe then we could get on with some actual PEACEFUL policies.
And make it a pay-per-view event to pay the Fed. deficit for a few days.
Little rocket man was just trying to show that when he says “your fired” it has teeth. Trump did it on TV, NK dictators do it on TV execution style. Doesn’t China still off people as well if they do to bad a job running one of their Commie departments?
Not only do they kill them, they take their organs.
Why’s erryone so STUPID? Eh. I guess I’ll just be a rittle rone-ry.
Should be done here….drain the swamp.
I wonder how much of this is true, and how much is fake.
When there is so much propaganda out there it’s hard to trust any news stories.
On the other hand, I can think of a few people this should happen to in my country.
Was Nsa Bolton the source for this story? Yeah they executed everybody involved in the negotiations and Iran mined all the ships in the gulf keep lapping it up sheeple! Amazing how the evil axis keeps playing into Bolton’s agenda which is WAR WAR and more WAR not like he has to fight or anything just doing good because doing good ain’t got no end! Apologies to Clint Eastwood and Outlaw Josey Wales.
