North Korea likely making more nuclear bomb fuel despite Trump-Kim talks, report saysPosted about 6 hours ago http://www.abc.net.au/news/2018-06-30/north-korea-fires-the-hwasong-15/9927916" rel="nofollow">  http://www.abc.net.au/news/2018-06-30/north-korea-fires-the-hwasong-15/9927916" rel="nofollow - - Pyongyang was testing increasingly powerful weapons prior to the June 12 summit. http://www.abc.net.au/news/2018-06-28/north-korea-nuclear-facilities-improvements-made-at-rapid-pace/9920374" rel="nofollow - http://www.abc.net.au/news/2018-06-15/kim-jong-un-is-a-trustworthy-person-says-korean-ambassador/9871640" rel="nofollow - http://www.abc.net.au/news/2018-06-16/what-are-the-wargames-that-donald-trump-is-looking-to-stop/9872130" rel="nofollow - US intelligence agencies believe North Korea has increased production of fuel for nuclear weapons at multiple secret sites in recent months and may try to hide these while seeking concessions in nuclear talks with the United States, NBC News has quoted US officials as saying. Key points:
In a report on Friday, the American network said what it described as the latest US intelligence assessment appeared to go counter to sentiments expressed by President Donald Trump, who tweeted after an unprecedented June 12 summit with North Korean leader Kim Jong-un that "there is no longer a nuclear threat from North Korea". NBC quoted five unidentified US officials as saying that in recent months North Korea had stepped up production of enriched uranium for nuclear weapons, even as it engaged in diplomacy with the United States. The US officials said the intelligence assessment concludes that North Korea has more than one secret nuclear site in addition to its known nuclear fuel production facility at Yongbyon.

The State Department said it could not confirm it and did not comment on matters of intelligence. The White House did not respond to a request for comment. The report raises further questions about North Korea's readiness to enter serious negotiations about giving up a weapons program that now threatens the United States, in spite of Mr Trump's enthusiastic portrayal of the summit outcome. NBC quoted one senior US intelligence official as saying that North Korea's decision ahead of the summit to suspend nuclear and missile tests was unexpected and the fact that the two sides were talking was a positive step. However, he added: "Work is ongoing to deceive us on the number of facilities, the number of weapons, the number of missiles … We are watching closely." < width="100%" border="0" webkitallowfullscreen="" mozallowfullscreen="" allowfullscreen="" allowtransparency="" ="http://www.youtube.com//IRMtg_GWqdk?iv_load_policy=3&modestbranding=1&showinfo=0&rel=0&origin=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.abc.net.au&list=&start=0&enablejsapi=1" style="margin: 0px; padding: 0px; word-wrap: break-word; border-width: 0px; border-style: initial; display: block; : ; height: 393.75px;"> https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IRMtg_GWqdk" rel="nofollow - - YOUTUBE: Youtube: North Korea's nuclear weapons, explained 'Disclosing some sites for denuclearisation while retaining others'Jeffrey Lewis, director of the East Asia Non-proliferation Program at California's Middlebury Institute of International Studies, said there were two "bombshells" in the media report. He said it had long been understood that North Korea had at least one undeclared facility to enrich nuclear fuel aside from Yongbyon.

Mr Lewis said the report also implied that US intelligence had reporting to suggest North Korea did not intend to disclose one or more of the enrichment sites.
North Korea agreed at the summit to "work toward denuclearization of the Korean Peninsula," but the joint statement signed by Mr Kim and Mr Trump gave no details on how or when Pyongyang might surrender its nuclear weapons. Ahead of the summit, North Korea rejected unilaterally abandoning an arsenal it has called an essential deterrent against US aggression. US Secretary of State Mike Pompeo said last week he would likely go back to North Korea before long to try to flesh out commitments made at the Trump-Kim meeting. http://www.abc.net.au/news/2018-06-04/north-korea-troops-at-military-parade/9832406" rel="nofollow">  http://www.abc.net.au/news/2018-06-04/north-korea-troops-at-military-parade/9832406" rel="nofollow - On Thursday, the Financial Times quoted US officials as saying that Pompeo plans to travel to North Korea next week, but the State Department has declined to confirm this. Bruce Klingner, a former CIA Korea expert now at the conservative Heritage Foundation think tank, said the NBC report showed Mr Trump's statement that North Korea was no longer a nuclear threat was "absurd" and that detailed work on a verification regime was required. Mr Trump said last week North Korea was blowing up four of its big test sites and that a process of "total denuclearization … has already started," but officials said there had been no such evidence since the summit. This week, Washington-based North Korean monitoring project 38 North said recent satellite imagery showed North Korea had made rapid improvements to facilities at Yongbyon since May 6, but it could not say if such work had continued after June 12. ------------- Everything we hear is an opinion, not a fact.

North Korea says talks with US Secretary of State Mike Pompeo were 'regrettable'Updated 29 minutes ago http://www.abc.net.au/news/2018-07-08/secretary-of-state-mike-pompeo/9954722" rel="nofollow">  http://www.abc.net.au/news/2018-07-08/secretary-of-state-mike-pompeo/9954722" rel="nofollow - http://www.abc.net.au/news/2018-07-07/both-sides-seek-to-clarify-on-day-two-of-pompeos-pyongyang-visit/9953504" rel="nofollow - http://www.abc.net.au/news/2018-06-30/believes-n-korea-making-more-nuclear-bomb-fuel-us-intelligence/9927908" rel="nofollow - http://www.abc.net.au/news/2018-06-14/us-aiming-for-north-korea-disarmament-by-end-donald-trump-term/9868038" rel="nofollow - High-level talks between the United States and North Korea have appeared to hit a snag as Pyongyang said a visit by US Secretary of State Mike Pompeo had been "regrettable" and accused Washington of making "gangster-like" demands to pressure the country into abandoning its nuclear weapons. Key points:
The statement from the North came just hours after Mr Pompeo wrapped up two days of talks with senior North Korean officials without meeting North Korean leader Kim Jong Un but with commitments for new discussions on denuclearisation and the repatriation of the remains of American soldiers killed during the Korean War. While Mr Pompeo offered a relatively positive assessment of his meetings, North Korea's Foreign Ministry said in a statement the US betrayed the spirit of last month's summit between President Donald Trump and Mr Kim by making "unilateral and gangster-like" demands on "CVID," or the complete, verifiable and irreversible denuclearisation of North Korea. It said the outcome of the follow-up talks was "very concerning" because it has led to a "dangerous phase that might rattle our willingness for denuclearisation that had been firm." http://www.abc.net.au/news/2018-07-08/mike-pompeo-shakes-hands-with-kim-yong-chol/9954724" rel="nofollow">  http://www.abc.net.au/news/2018-07-08/mike-pompeo-shakes-hands-with-kim-yong-chol/9954724" rel="nofollow - "We had expected that the US side would offer constructive measures that would help build trust based on the spirit of the leaders' summit ... we were also thinking about providing reciprocal measures," said the statement, released by an unnamed spokesman and carried by the North's official Korean Central News Agency. http://www.abc.net.au/news/2018-06-12/donald-trump-and-north-korea-leader-statement-after-meeting/9861688" rel="nofollow - Read the document in fullhttp://www.abc.net.au/news/2018-06-12/donald-trump-and-north-korea-leader-statement-after-meeting/9861688" rel="nofollow"> http://www.abc.net.au/news/2018-06-12/donald-trump-and-north-korea-leader-statement-after-meeting/9861688" rel="nofollow - The statement details the two leaders' plans to cooperate on denuclearisation and peace on the Peninsula. "However, the attitude and stance the United States showed in the first high-level meeting (between the countries) was no doubt regrettable," the spokesman said.
According to the spokesman, during the talks with Pompeo the North raised the issue of a possible declaration to formally end the 1950-53 Korean War, which concluded with an armistice and not a peace treaty. It also offered to discuss the closure of a missile engine test site that would "physically affirm" a move to halt the production of intercontinental range ballistic missiles and setting up working-level discussions for the return of US war remains. http://www.abc.net.au/news/2018-07-08/kumsusan-palace-of-the-sun-in-pyongyang/9954730" rel="nofollow">  http://www.abc.net.au/news/2018-07-08/kumsusan-palace-of-the-sun-in-pyongyang/9954730" rel="nofollow - However, the spokesman said the United States came up with a variety of "conditions and excuses" to delay a declaration on ending the war. The spokesman also downplayed the significance of the United States suspending its military exercises with South Korea, saying the North made a larger concession by blowing up the tunnels at its nuclear test site. In criticising the talks with Mr Pompeo, however, the North carefully avoided attacking the President, saying "we wholly maintain our trust toward President Trump," but also that Washington must not allow "headwinds" against the "wills of the leaders". 'A great deal of progress' http://www.abc.net.au/news/2018-07-07/mike-pompeo-meets-with-kim-yong-chol/9953596" rel="nofollow">  http://www.abc.net.au/news/2018-07-07/mike-pompeo-meets-with-kim-yong-chol/9953596" rel="nofollow - In comments to reporters before leaving Pyongyang, Mr Pompeo said his conversations with senior North Korean official Kim Yong Chol had been "productive," conducted "in good faith" and that "a great deal of progress" had been made in some areas. He stressed "there's still more work to be done" in other areas, much of which would be done by working groups that the two sides have set up to deal with specific issues. Mr Pompeo said a Pentagon team would be meeting with North Korean officials on or about July 12 at the border between North and South Korea to discuss the repatriation of remains and that working level talks would be held soon on the destruction of North Korea's missile engine testing facility. In the days following his historic June 12 summit with Kim Jong Un in Singapore, Mr Trump announced the return of the remains and the destruction of the missile facility had been completed or were in progress. Mr Pompeo, however, said more talks were needed on both. http://www.abc.net.au/news/2018-07-08/mike-pompeo-in-north-korea/9955142" rel="nofollow">  http://www.abc.net.au/news/2018-07-08/mike-pompeo-in-north-korea/9955142" rel="nofollow - ------------- Everything we hear is an opinion, not a fact.

and from the BBCNorth Korea: US is making 'gangster-like' demands on denuclearisation
 Image copyrightAFPNorth Korea has accused the US of using "gangster-like" tactics to push it towards nuclear disarmament after a fresh round of high-level talks. It branded the US attitude at the meeting as "extremely troubling". The statement, by an unnamed foreign ministry official, gave a starkly different account from one provided by US Secretary of State Mike Pompeo just hours before. He had said progress was made during his two-day visit to Pyongyang. It is the first time he has visited North Korea since a summit between Donald Trump and Kim Jong-un in Singapore. The leader's meeting ended with a promise from Mr Kim to work towards denuclearisation, but details on how this will be achieved remain thin.
A key aim of Mr Pompeo during his visit was to firm up North Korea's commitment to disarmament. But the North Korean statement, carried by the official KCNA news agency, said the US had gone against the spirit of the summit by putting unilateral pressure on the country to abandon its nuclear weapons. "We had anticipated the US side would come with a constructive idea, thinking we would take something in return," the North Korean statement said, warning its "resolve for denuclearisation... may falter". "The US is fatally mistaken if it went to the extent of regarding that [North Korea] would be compelled to accept, out of its patience, demands reflecting its gangster-like mindset," it added. 'Great deal of progress'At the talks, Mr Pompeo did not meet with Mr Kim, but instead with Kim Yong-chol, who is seen as his right-hand man. In his assessment Mr Pompeo gave little away, but he said they had discussed at length a timeline for disarmament, including the destruction of a missile engine testing facility. "These are complicated issues, but we made progress on almost all of the central issues, some places a great deal of progress, other places there's still more work to be done," he said.  After the Singapore summit, which also saw the US offer "security guarantees" to North Korea and promise to end its military drills with South Korea, Mr Trump claimed that the North no longer posed a nuclear threat. https://www.bbc.com/news/world-asia-44584957" rel="nofollow - However, the president has since renewed sanctions on North Korea , while US intelligence officials have said there is evidence North Korea continues to upgrade the infrastructure for its nuclear and missile programmes. A state department spokesperson said Mr Pompeo had been "very firm" in focusing on denuclearisation, as well as on security assurances and another important US demand - the return of remains of US service personnel from the Korean War. As Saturday's meeting got under way Kim Yong-chol joked that Mr Pompeo may not have slept well during his overnight stay at a guesthouse in Pyongyang. Mr Pompeo said he "slept just fine". On Sunday, the US secretary of state will meet the foreign ministers of Japan and South Korea in Tokyo. Share this story http://www.bbc.co.uk/help/web/sharing.shtml" rel="nofollow - About sharing

U.S. President Donald Trump suggested on Monday that Beijing might be seeking to derail efforts aimed at Washington and Pyongyang have presented differing views in recent days on progress on denuclearisation following a Trump-Kim summit in June. On Monday, Trump suggested that China, North Korea's chief ally, might be interfering in reaction to the Trump administration's stance on U.S.-China trade. "I have confidence that Kim Jong Un will U.S. Secretary of State Mike Pompeo concluded two days of talks with North Korean officials in Pyongyang on Saturday and said denuclearisation talks with North Korea would be difficult. North Korea, however, issued a harsh characterization of the negotiations, raising questions about the future talks as U.S. officials seek an end to Pyongyang's nuclear weapons program. Following the June 12 meeting with Trump in Singapore, Kim made a broad agreement to "work toward denuclearisation" of the Korean Peninsula. But no details were announced on how or when the reclusive state would dismantle its nuclear program. ------------- Everything we hear is an opinion, not a fact.

UN watchdog says North Korea has not halted nuclear program By Barbara Starr, CNN Pentagon Correspondent Aug. 22, 2018 Washington (CNN) - The United Nations nuclear watchdog agency says it has "grave concern" that North Korea continues to develop its nuclear weapons program. A report Monday from the International Atomic Energy Agency noted that without direct access to North Korean weapons sites its information is limited, though it is monitoring the program through "more frequent collection of satellite imagery." The report includes a detailed list of nuclear-related activities the agency believes have been underway in recent months mainly at the Yongbyon Nuclear Scientific Research Center, one of the country's major nuclear sites. The IAEA report provides some of the most specific information made public so far about North Korea's activities. They include: • Indications consistent with the use of centrifuge enrichment technology at the nuclear fuel-rod fabrication plant including operation of cooling units and movement of vehicles. • Indications "consistent" with operation of the 5-megawatt experimental nuclear power plant including discharges of steam and cooling water. • Operations of a steam plant were observed that served a radiochemical laboratory associated with nuclear fuel processing. • There are also indications of ongoing mining, milling and other fuel activities at a site previously declared as a uranium mine and an associated plant. Secretary of State Mike Pompeo told the Senate Foreign Relations Committee in July that the regime is still making fissile material, but he gave no other details. Pompeo has subsequently said the US still has a long way to go in discussions with North Korea to achieve the full denuclearization the Trump administration says North Korean leader Kim Jong Un promised. On Monday US President Donald Trump said another summit with Kim would "most likely" happen but offered no details on timing or venue in an interview with Reuters. In the interview, Trump pointed to an absence of missile or nuclear tests from Pyongyang as a measure of the success he's had in dealing with the reclusive regime, which last year was threatening the US mainland with nuclear strikes. "I stopped (North Korea's) nuclear testing. I stopped (North Korea's) missile testing. Japan is thrilled. What's going to happen? Who knows? We're going to see," the President said.
