US President Barack Obama met with Bill Clinton Tuesday at the White House to discuss the former president's trip this month to North Korea. Bill Clinton had gone to North Korea to secure the release of two US journalists who had been held there for months, and the White House said at the time that the 42nd president would soon debrief Obama on the trip, according to a report of the German news agency "DPA". Clinton met with North Korean leader Kim Jong Il during the visit but has kept quiet publicly about the discussions since returning with the journalists, Euna Lee and Laura Ling.
