U.S. Intelligence Says North Korea’s Nuclear Program Still Active Despite Trump Declaring Mission Accomplished

Despite President Trump’s “mission accomplished” good vibes after his summit in Singapore with North Korean leader Kim Jong-un last month, after which he declared “there is no longer a Nuclear Threat from North Korea,” it turns out, there is a still a nuclear threat from North Korea. That’s according to U.S. spy agencies, which the Washington Post reports, have gathered evidence complete with satellite imagery that suggests Pyongyang is actively at work on its nuclear program. At least one liquid-fueled ICBM, the variety capable of hitting the U.S., is under construction at a facility outside the capital city, according to U.S. intelligence, indicating that the country continues to manufacture weapons, despite its public statements to the contrary.
