John Bolton says US has a plan for North Korean denuclearization within a year, decries intelligence leaks

THE PLAN: It’s been only three weeks since President Trump’s historic meeting with North Korean leader Kim Jong Un, but the Trump administration is being pressed for evidence that the document signed by the two leaders in Singapore will actually result in “denuclearization.” The questions intensified last week by reports from NBC News and the Washington Post quoting U.S. intelligence officials who say new evidence casts doubt on Kim’s sincerity. They have reportedly concluded that North Korea “is considering ways to conceal the number of weapons it has and secret production facilities.”

“We have developed a program,” national security adviser John Bolton said on CBS yesterday. “Secretary of State Mike Pompeo will be discussing with the North Koreans in the near future about really how to dismantle all of their WMD and ballistic missile programs in a year. If they have the strategic decision already made to do that, and they’re cooperative, we can move very quickly.”
