May 30, 2018 - Voormalig spionnenchef vanNoord-Korea Kim Yong Chol arriveert in New York for besprekingen over een op henden zijnde top tussen de Amerikaanse president Donald Trump en de Noord-Koreaanse leider Kim Jong-un.

General Kim, 72, is a controversial figure in neighbouring South Korea, and previously served as a negotiator in inter-Korean talks.

He is believed to have masterminded numerous attacks on South Korea, including the sinking of the Cheonan military vessel in 2010, which killed 46 sailors.
