Earlier, Donald Trump told reporters he would be very disappointed in North Korean Chairman Kim Jong-un if reports that he is rebuilding the Sohae long-range rocket launch site turn out to be true.
US State Department said that Washington still believes North Korea’s denuclearization is possible, noting however that it has not seen verifiable destruction of DPRK’s rocket launch systems.
“We still believe that it’s achievable within the President’s first term,” the official said. “That’s the timetable we are working on … and it is doable,” a senior US Department of State official said on Thursday.
