“If not for me, we would now be at War with North Korea!” He added.

The reality is that there is still a long way to go. A number of recent reports have suggested US intelligence officials believe Pyongyang will not denuclearise and will instead look to hide and move nuclear assets. A Defence Intelligence Agency estimate, reported by The Washington Post, that North Korea will look to deceive the US about the scope of its nuclear programmes.

…….Critics hit out at the vague nature of that nuclear commitment after the Singapore summit, and much of the work is still to do. If the summit produced an agreement to aspire to, the hard yards start now.

It appears that Mr Kim and Pyongyang are not against making moves – the basketball games taking place this week between North and South Korea prove that, but it appears Washington is open to softening their “all or nothing” approach to denuclearisation with little sign of a breakthrough yet………

Whatever the outcome of the next round of talks, Mr Trump’s public brashness about the state of negotiations will not tell the whole picture about the fate of North Korea’s nuclear weapons programme. Serious and delicate negotiations will be the only way ahead.  https://www.independent.co.uk/news/world/americas/us-politics/trump-north-korea-nuclear-weapons-talks-latest-kim-jong-un-mike-pompeo-south-korea-japan-a8431821.html
