North Korea serious about dismantling nukes: Trump

TIL Desk/World/Washington/ North Korea is “very serious” about dismantling its nuclear weapons, US President Donald Trump said today, dismissing reports that Pyongyang does not intend to fully surrender its nuclear stockpiles.

North Korean leader Kim Jong-un had pledged to work towards “complete denuclearisation” during a historic meeting with Trump in Singapore on June 12 in return for security guarantees from the US.

A daily report said that North Korea was considering ways to conceal its nuclear weapons and secret production facilities. Responding to the report, Trump said, “I think they (North Koreans) are very serious about it (denuclearisation). I think they want to do — we had a very good chemistry.

“I made a deal with him. I shook hands with him. I really believe he means it,” Trump told. The daily, citing intelligence officials, said that the US intelligence officials have concluded that North Korea does not intend to fully surrender its nuclear stockpiles.
