Satellite images taken far above North Korea reveal that Kim Jong-un’s regime is expanding a major missile production facility. (Fox News)
The Wall Street Journal reported that the plant’s satellite images were examined by researchers in Middlebury Institute of International studies in Monterey, Calif. The researchers told the paper that the completion of the plant happened at about the same time as Trump was meeting Kim.
A separate organization reported that it noticed that upgrades were also being made on the country’s main nuclear-research center.
The Washington Post on Saturday cited unnamed U.S. intelligence officials as concluding that North Korea does not intend to fully surrender its nuclear stockpile.
Evidence collected since the June 12 summit in Singapore points to preparations to deceive the U.S. about the number of nuclear warheads in North Korea’s arsenal as well as the existence of undisclosed facilities used to make fissile material for nuclear bombs, according to the report.
U.S. intelligence officials are now highly skeptical that Kim is committed to denuclearization.
