commemorate that really nifty summit Trump had with Kim Jong - un in Singapore last month ? The one that wentreally welland wholly save the human beings and all that ? Well , it might not have been as good as Trump exact . I know , I know , shocking .
That ’s because harmonize toThe Washington Post , North Korea has continued to build new ballistic missiles despite Trump claiming Kim had pledged to denuclearize . They cite unnamed US official who said spy satellites had spotted activity .
“ We see them going to play , just as before , ” one US official said .
Satellite images appeared to show one or two liquid - fueled intercontinental ballistic missiles ( ICBMs ) being build at a magnanimous adeptness on the outskirts of the capital Pyongyang , called Sanumdong . It indicate North Korea is proceed to exploit on advanced weaponry , assay to cement itself as a nuclear power rather than altogether disarm .
This manufacturing plant has already produced two of North Korea ’s ICBM , including the one that could supposedly collide with the US East Coast – theHwasong-15 . At least one of the newfangled missiles is another one of these .
However , official did note to the Washington Post that another launching facility – the Sohae Satellite Launching Station on the West Coast – was being part dismantled . Some have regarded that as purely symbolical , take note it could well be rebuilt .
This is not the first sign that Trump ’s summit meeting with Kim was practically meaningless . In tardy June , after it had taken place , US functionary aver North Korea seem to have increasedproduction of fuelfor nuclear weapons .
A US functionary noted toReutersthat this recent activity advise North Korea may be looking to ameliorate their missiles . “ They seem to have figured out the engines , but not all the higher - tech stuff , and that might be what this is about , ” they said .
“ What ’s more , a liquid - fueled intercontinental ballistic missile does n’t pose nearly the threat that a solid - fuel one would because they take so long to fire , and that ’s something we almost certainly could see in time to abort a launch , give our assets in the vicinity . ”
Gee , ifonlyanyonehadseenthis arrive .
