Bolton: North Korea nuclear program can be dismantled in year
WASHINGTON (Reuters) - White House national security adviser John Bolton said on Sunday he believed the bulk of North Koreas nuclear program could be dismantled within a year.
Bolton also told CBSs Face the Nation that Washington was going into nuclear negotiations aware of Pyongyangs failure to live up to its promises in the past.
Theres not any starry-eyed feeling among the group doing this, he said. Were well aware of what the North Koreans have done in the past.

universe and are in the path of destroying the USA. Wonder how GOPers will feel when the USA go into a major depression, huh. I don't think they see that far and I don't think they care.
NK has made a fool out of shithole. Most USA knew except his deranged base.

North Korea has increased nuclear production at secret sites, say U.S. officials
Source: nbcnews.com
"Work is ongoing to deceive us on the number of facilities, the number of weapons, the number of missiles," said one U.S. official.

WASHINGTON U.S. intelligence agencies believe that North Korea has increased its production of fuel for nuclear weapons at multiple secret sites in recent months and that Kim Jong Un may try to hide those facilities as he seeks more concessions in nuclear talks with the Trump administration, U.S. officials told NBC News.
The intelligence assessment, which has not previously been reported, seems to counter the sentiments expressed by President Donald Trump, who tweeted after his historic June 12 summit with Kim that "there was no longer a nuclear threat from North Korea."
Analysts at the CIA and other intelligence agencies don't see it that way, according to more than a dozen American officials who are familiar with their assessments and spoke on the condition of anonymity. They see a regime positioning itself to extract every concession it can from the Trump administration while clinging to nuclear weapons it believes are essential to survival.
