President Donald J.
Trump announced that “three Americans held in North Korean
labor camps were free and on their way home Wednesday,”
Alastair Jamieson reports for NBC News. “Pompeo was in
Pyongyang to finalize a date and place for historic
face-to-face talks between Trump and the North Korean leader.”
“[Secretary of
State Mike] Pompeo and his ‘guests’ will be landing at
Andrews Air Force Base at 2:00 A.M. in the morning. I will be
there to greet them. Very exciting!” President Trump tweeted.

The
Washington Free Beacon reports that Sen. Marco Rubio
(R-FL) asked Gina Haspel, President Trump’s nominee to lead
the CIA, during her Senate hearing that “if someone like you,
with your history, with your record of service and sacrifice
and excellence . . . cannot be confirmed to head this agency,
then who can?" Sen. Rubio added that Haspel embodies
everything he respects and admires about the CIA’s public
servants.

“Finally: A US
president is pushing back on Iran’s dangerous and growing
power,” writes the New
York Post's Editorial Board. The editors explain that
“President Trump’s decision Tuesday to withdraw from Team
Obama’s badly flawed Iran deal and reimpose sanctions sends a
clear message to the mullahs: The jig’s up.”
------------
The
Cipher Brief reports that 72 former CIA officers have
endorsed Gina Haspel to be the next Director of the Agency. “In
her, we saw the image of what we want a peer and leader to be,”
the officers said in a joint statement.

“In his speech, one of
the best made about and to Iran by an American president, Trump
put the world on notice that the U.S. would no longer be
hamstrung by a bad deal,” the Washington
Examiner Editorial Board writes. “America will not
be held hostage to nuclear blackmail,” President Trump
declared.
------------
Lester Munson, senior
fellow at the National Security Institute, writes in
RealClearDefense
that Gina Haspel understands the CIA “as well as anyone and
is ready to execute the job of Director – her career and
experience speak volumes. It would be a shame for the
opposition party in the Senate to follow the same unfortunate
strategy they did with Mike Pompeo and politicize a qualified
nominee during the confirmation process.”
