The official said that Pompeo"unleashed insult at a country with which his president was willing to forge a good relationship," referring to Trump's letter to Kim in which he said he hoped to cooperate in efforts to fight coronavirus."It is puzzling who the real commander in chief is in the U.S.," the official added.
