North Korea appears to go back on promises to destroy the launch site, made during the first summit with US President Donald Trump in 2018, repairing buildings sometime within the last three weeks.

North Korea has restored part of a missile launch site that it began to dismantle as part of pledge during the first summit with US President Donald Trump.Part of the launch facility was dismantled after the first Kim-Trump summit in 2018South Korea's Yonhap News Agency quoted politicians briefed by South Korea's National Intelligence Service as saying that the work was taking place at the Tongchang-ri launch site and involved replacing a roof and a door at the facility.

Satellite images seen by 38 North, a Washington-based North Korea project, showed that structures on the launch pad had been rebuilt sometime between February 16 and March 2, Jenny Town, managing editor at the project and an analyst at the Stimson Centre think tank, told Reuters. The news comes days after a second summit on denuclearisation between Mr Trump and North Korean leader Kim Jong-un broke down over differences on how far Pyongyang was willing to limit its nuclear program and the degree of US willingness to ease sanctions.

Mr Trump told a news conference after the unprecedented first summit with Mr Kim on June 12 in Singapore that the North Korean leader had promised that a major missile engine testing site would be destroyed very soon.

Hmmm...sounds very much like the 'satellite' photos scenario of Saddam Husseins Weapons of Mass Destruction & we all know how that turned out!! 🙄

. Another report from ABC's govt propaganda team. The same ppl that brought you 'Saddam's WMDs' & 'Huawei is spying but Google is awesome'. NK couldn't hit Pyonyang with a missile. We've starved their people & blocked trade for 50years. They couldn't put cruise control in a car.

NK would be crazy to throw away all their long range missiles with America's courting overtures.........America would find any excuse blow them off the map if that happened. Only to be replaced by another one of their puppet governments like Iraq.

NK is trying to prepare for a 21st century war by developing 20th century strategic weapons. I can't imagine what will end up happening to them if it come to conflict but I suspect the world will be shocked & horrified by whatever new technologies are used to put NK out of action

Maybe he can put up a wall.

A single mistep by that little meglomaniac could see Nth Korea vanish overnight.

More zionist controlled MSM bollocks trying to stir the pot with continual war mongering! Here's a tip....it's not working anymore because the world waking up!! 😉

OH!!!, well well well folks is this a admission by our ABC that President Trump was right to walk away from any deal with North Korea ? WRONG the ABC never admits it was WRONG ,,,, EVER. auspol.

BrettMitchumm so much winning.....not It’s ok, I’ll let the big dog realDonaldTrump know because he’s pretty sure he made this stop. Who cares. Leave it to North Koreans to shoot Fat By Kim in the head, if they want to. Meanwhile, If NoKo is actually dumb enough to attack a friendly nation, give it right back to the Fat Kid. Otherwise, stay out of it.

US unwilling to lift sanctions on North Korea | Sky News AustraliaDonald Trump has confirmed that North Korea was willing denuke but they wanted to have all the sanctions lifted, which the US was unwilling to do.\n\nThe White House confirmed President Trump and North Korean leader Kim Jong Un did not reach an agreement at the summit in Hanoi, Vietnam on Thursday following two days of talks. \n\nAddressing the press following the summit, Mr Trump described Kim as ‘quite a character’ and the summit ‘really very productive’ but said ‘sometimes you just have to walk’. \n\nMr Trump declined to comment on whether Mr Kim wanted to keep some of his nuclear weapons, but said he 'he has a vision' of what Kim Jong Un wants.\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n Trump genuinely thought he could run America like he did his businesses. That's about it in a nutshell 👇 I think your assessment is incorrect of realDonaldTrump There’s no deal, so what’s he going to say. 45 is clearly not prepared to do a deal that doesn’t suit US interests... so that’s fair enough. Trump had to say something to the press. Kim won’t be getting his way. All the conservatives & RWNJ's defending this man, should be utterly ashamed of themselves. None of you have a shred of moral or ethical integrity about you. You've let trump shit all over the institutions & pillars of democracy, all for political expediency & party loyalty

North Korea rejects US claims about lifting sanctionsNorth Korea disputes claims by United States President Donald Trump that it demanded all sanctions be lifted in exchange for decommissioning its nuclear research centre. 'High-stakes meetings meant to disarm a global threat.' you say? I didn't realize that this was about the USA disarming, I thought it was about NK. Unsurprising that we get two conflicting stories though, Trump is a serial liar and so is NK. Please help me the maphia is killing people in my apt when I am put in patent by the corrupt police who are involved. I live at 70 n Whitney st Amherst ma apt C . I am being locked up again today! Help please. At least someone is having a go at solving the Korean problem. The simple fact that these two leaders are willing to sit down and talk shows a lot more conciliatory progress than say Obama ever did.
