Suzanne DiMaggio was cited in an article in the Guardian about Mike Pompeo's secret visit to North Korea:
"Suzanne DiMaggio, a senior fellow at the New America thinktank who has led back-channel diplomatic initiatives with the North Korean, called the news of the Pompeo visit “stunning”.
'Just weeks out from the proposed Trump-KJU summit, we had better be engaged in direct talks in preparation,” DiMaggio said in a tweet. “And all the better if some interactions are face-to-face – this is the only way to set the groundwork for sustained, productive talks/negotiations.'"
