Bolton: US has plan to dismantle North Korea nuclear program in a year
WASHINGTON — US President Donald Trump’s national security adviser says the US has a plan that would lead to the dismantling of North Korea’s nuclear weapons and ballistic missile programs in a year.
John Bolton says top US diplomat Mike Pompeo will be discussing that plan with North Korea in the near future. Bolton adds that it would be to the North’s advantage to cooperate to see sanctions lifted quickly and aid from South Korea and Japan start to flow.
Bolton’s remarks on CBS’ “Face the Nation” appear to be the first time the Trump administration had publicly suggested a timeline for North Korea to fulfill the commitment leader Kim Jong Un made at a summit with US President Donald Trump last month for the “complete denuclearization” of the Korean Peninsula.
