U.S. might invest billions to rebuild North Korea? [View all]

German national news (in English) on cable TV just said U.S. Secretary of State
Mike Pompeo has suggested to North Korea that we might invest billions of dollars to ‘rebuild’ North Korea.

Recent news stories have reported Trump wants to cut $7 billion from our ‘CHIP’ (Children’s Health Insurance) program.

Money for North Korea; but cut funding for American kids' health?
