Pyongyang, North Korea

-

New missile activity: North Korea has continued to build nuclearcap­able interconti­nental ballistic missiles at a factory on the outskirts of Pyongyang in the weeks since President Trump’s Singapore summit with North Korean dictator Kim Jong Un, U.S. intelligen­ce agencies revealed this week. After the June 12 meeting, Trump tweeted, “There is no longer a Nuclear Threat from North Korea.” But satellite images show that the North is manufactur­ing at least two new ICBMs at its Sanumdong facility. Secretary of State Mike Pompeo also told Congress last week that Kim’s regime is still making “fissile material,” fuel for nuclear weapons. North Korea isn’t technicall­y breaking any deal with the U.S., since it agreed at Singapore only to work toward denucleari­zation, not to stop manufactur­ing missiles or nuclear fuel.
