The White House on Thursday released photos of a recent secret meeting between U.S. Secretary of State Mike Pompeo and North Korean leader Kim Jong-un.

White House press secretary Sarah Huckabee Sanders released two photos on her Twitter account, just hours after U.S. President Donald Trump revealed details of the surprise meeting during a telephone interview with the "Fox and Friends" television show. 

Trump said that Pompeo's meeting with Kim wasn't planned and the pair were together for more than an hour and "got along." 

Trump said that Pompeo also spoke with his counterparts in North Korea and they had a great meeting, adding it was very secret and very quiet.

He again claimed he has not given any concessions to the North in return for its commitment to denuclearize. 

Trump sent Pompeo, then director of the Central Intelligence Agency and now secretary of state, to Pyongyang over Easter weekend to prepare for his potential summit with Kim, slated for the end of May or early June. The U.S. Senate confirmed Pompeo as the U.S.' top diplomat on Thursday.
