FACT CHECK: U.S. And North Korea After Their Singapore Summit
President Trump has claimed his summit with North Korean leader Kim Jong Un has led that nation to begin the process of denuclearization and removed its threat to the United States. A fact check.
Back from his third trip to North Korea in as many months, Secretary of State Mike Pompeo sounded buoyant.
"President Trump remains upbeat about the prospects for North Korean denuclearization. Progress is happening," he told the Senate Foreign Relations Committee on July 25. "We need Chairman Kim Jong Un to follow through on his commitments that he made in Singapore."
Yet in the weeks following President Trump's June 12 summit in Singapore with North Korean leader Kim Jong Un, news reports have cited strong indications that North Korea has continued to produce fissile material for making nuclear weapons and build ballistic missiles suited for carrying nuclear warheads.
