While President Donald Trump proclaimed on Twitter in recent weeks that North Korea is “no longer a Nuclear Threat,” the regime continues to construct new missiles, according to U.S. intelligence officials who spoke with the Washington Post.
U.S. spy agencies have recently seen satellite photo evidence that North Korea is building at least two intercontinental ballistic missiles at the factory where it created its first missile that it said could reach the United States. The officials who spoke to the Post said the evidence doesn’t show that North Korea is growing its nuclear potential, but that it is still working on constructing modern weapons.
Secretary of State Mike Pompeo told Congress last week that the regime also continues to secretly produced the material used in making nuclear weapons.
While North Korean leader Kim Jong-un did follow through with one agreement he made with Trump — to return the remains of U.S. soldiers who were killed in the Korean War — the secret construction of additional weapons is just the latest indication that Trump may have determined his success in denuclearizing North Korea too soon.
Kim signed an agreement to work toward denuclearization during a summit with Trump last month, and Trump spent the wake of the meeting praising the brutal regime leader’s character and intelligence. It is unclear whether Kim will follow through on any of those promises as the country’s officials have discussed plans to deceive Washington about their unclear arsenal, according to the Post.
Tragically unforeseeable by anyone.
we need a snark font.
No, no, no. Again the Deep State is desperate to make Trump’s historic achievement look bad. The simple explanation is that these missiles had already been scheduled to be built when the agreement was made. As soon as they’re completed the construction crews will start taking them apart again.
Now aren’t we looking forward to donnie talking with Iran?
They are not missiles.
They are peace pods.
The art of this deal was that Kim can’t start denuclearization until he has an arsenal equivalent to that of the US… Then they can agree to make equal cuts.
