Trump pleased as North Korea seen dismantling launch site parts

President Donald Trump is expressing appreciation to North Korea for apparently beginning to dismantle key parts of its main satellite launch site.

Trump said new satellite photos indicating the North has begun to take down facilities at the Sohae site are a sign of results from the “fantastic” summit he held last month with North Korean leader Kim Jong Un.

Secretary of State Mike Pompeo, however, said that while such a step would be “entirely consistent” with pledges Kim made, it would have to be confirmed by international inspectors.
