    North Korea nuclear war BLUFF: Kim STILL developing nuclear site despite
    Trump vow

    The stark warning was issued by more than a dozen US officials from the
    CIA as well as other top intelligence agencies.

    They believe Pyongyang has actually increased its production of fuel for nuclear weapons at a number of its secret sites - despite Kim’s promises.

    In their intelligence assessment, the officials also argue Kim is acting
    in secret to obtain as many concessions from the US administration as he
    can while clinging to his nuclear weapons, which he sees as essential to
    his country’s survival.

    A US intelligence official said: “There are lots of things that we know
    that North Korea has tried to hide from us for a long time.”

    Next six months "critical" for hopes of denuclearising North Korea

    This worrying revelation comes just three weeks after the historic summit between US president Donald Trump and the hermit country’s leader, Kim,
    who on June 12 promised to "work toward" denuclearisation.

    The country has since stopped missile and nuclear tests and president
    Donald Trump has claimed victory in the fight to denuclearise the state.

    But one of the US official involved in the latest assessment said "there's
    no evidence that they are decreasing stockpiles, or that they have stopped their production.”

    They added: "There is absolutely unequivocal evidence that they are trying
    to deceive the U.S."

    The officials’ assessment is the last of a series of warnings over North Korea’s deceptive activities.

    Commercial satellite imagery from research group 38North showed
    infrastructure upgrades at the Yongbyon Nuclear Scientific Research
    Center, the country’s main nuclear site located north of Pyongyang.

    The works include completed modifications to a plutonium production
    reactor’s cooling system, new small buildings and other support facilities.

    And in an analysis released on June 21, 38North also published satellite imagery of the Sohae Satellite Launching Station showing no signs of dismantlement.

    These reports lessen Mr Trump’s confidence North Korea will fully
    cooperate and stick to the agreement signed last month.

    At a June 21 cabinet meeting, the president said of the document that he co-signed with Kim on June 12: "If people actually read it to the public, you’d see: Number one statement, we will immediately begin total denuclearisation of North Korea."

    The June summit, which didn’t produce any specific deal, saw Kim promising
    a complete denuclearisation of the Korean peninsula in exchange for the cancellation of the US military’s training exercises in the area.

    Following the meeting, Mr Trump said the world was “much safer” than last year.

    He wrote: “Just landed - a long trip, but everybody can now feel much
    safer than the day I took office.

    “There is no longer a Nuclear Threat from North Korea.

    “Meeting with Kim Jong-un was an interesting and very positive experience.

    “North Korea has great potential for the future!”
