North Korea meeting with Donald Trump is an evident failure
"Daily Beast" ~Watchdog: North Korea kept upgrading nuclear reactor since Trump-Kim Jong Un Summit ~ report by Spencer Ackerman
Non-verbals ~ Experts noted that Trump (inappropriately) touched Kim on numerous occasions, while Kim was much more restrained. Obviously, the photo op meeting between Kim Jung Un and Donald Trump held in Singapore was clearly a failed effort to stop the North Korean nuclear armament.
North Korean leader Kim Jung Un is already ignoring the agreement he is said to have signed in Singapore |
North Korea continued to upgrade its only known nuclear reactor, satellite imagery has shown, calling into question the value of the summit agreement between Donald Trump and Kim Jong Un.
In fact, the infrastructure improvements at the Yongbyon nuclear plant, which is used to fuel the country’s weapons program, are “continuing at a rapid pace,” according to analysis by monitoring group 38 North. Moreover, the upgrades include the modification of a cooling system for the plutonium production reactor, at least two new non-industrial buildings, and a new engineering office building. Kim Jong Un committed to “complete denuclearization” in a meeting with Trump in Singapore this month, but the details of how and when that will happen were not explicitly set out. “Infrastructure improvements continue at Yongbyon,” Jenny Town, managing editor of 38 North, wrote on Twitter. “Underscores reason why an actual deal is necessary, not just a statement of lofty goals.”
