Trump Says Not Sure Whether North Korea Discontinued Its Nuclear Program

MOSCOW (UrduPoint News / Sputnik - 15th October, 2018) US President Donald Trump has admitted that he cannot confirm that North Korea has stopped its nuclear and missile programs.

When a CBS correspondent asked Trump whether it was true that North Korea did not get rid of a single weapon and might actually be building more missiles, he said "nobody really knows."

"In the meantime, they haven't tested a missile. They haven't tested a rocket.

They definitely haven't done a nuclear test because you know about them real fast. It sort of moves the earth. And we have a relationship now," the US president added.

Trump and North Korean leader Kim Jong Un held a bilateral summit in June. After the meeting, the sides issued a joint statement in which North Korea promised to make efforts to promote complete denuclearization of the Korean Peninsula in exchange for the suspension of US-South Korean military drills as well as potential sanctions relief.
