The recently anticipated meeting between Donald Trump and Kim Jong-un was thought to be more favorable to North Korea.
Democrats and other skeptics claimed that Trump gained nothing from the meeting. Trump had claimed it was a victory for the U.S. and said that he had now paved the way for peace.
However in North Korea the people rejoiced as Kim seemed to have outsmarted the President, at least for now.
The U.S. had pulled out of any further war games with South Korea an expected Kim to continue his denuclearization process.
But it seemed that Kim may not be about to keep his word and meeting Trump may have just been a power move.
No Denuclearization?
After the summit between the two men Trump claimed they were working toward peace and a Peninsula free of nuclear weapons.
“We’re ready to write a new chapter between our Nations,” Trump said shortly after the summit. He had called his meeting with Kim “honest, direct and productive.”
Now new images recently taken showed that North Korea have made upgrades to a cooling system for plutonium production. This signaled that Kim was still intent on making weapons, a contradiction to Trump’s comments.
The White House at this point didn’t respond to the revelation.
