North Korea’s actions post-summit remain unclear
Two stories today highlight for me the murky state of North Korea’s nuclear bomb program.
- Shocker: North Korea not denuclearizing, not cooperating
- N. Korea begins dismantling rocket test site: analysts
The first story is originally from the Washington Post, which might not want to say good things about Trump’s foreign policy efforts with North Korea. The second story however is from the French news service AFP, which also has no kind thought’s about Trump.
So, we really do not have a clear idea yet whether North Korea is shutting down its nuclear bomb and missile program. What we do know for certain is that since November 28, 2017 North Korea has conducted no ballistic missile tests. Prior to that date they were launching test missiles at a rate of two to three a month, for years. North Korea might not be completely dismantling its missile and nuclear program, but it has at least ceased its most bellicose behavior since Trump’s diplomatic effort.
