By Simon Denyer Simon Denyer Tokyo bureau chief covering Japan, North Korea and South Korea. Email Bio Follow March 5 at 9:01 PM TOKYO — North Korea has begun rebuilding work on a rocket launch pad and missile engine test site, in an ominous sign about its attitude toward negotiations on denuclearization.
The site had previously been used to launch satellites rather than missiles, but North Korea had stated it was being dismantled and had promised to allow in international inspectors to verify that process, in a move widely cited as a sign of its good faith. The Tongchang-ri site is situated at the Sohae space station and is North Korea’s largest missile engine test site. Work to dismantle it began shortly after denuclearization negotiations with the United States began, but stalled from August of last year. Now it has gone into reverse.
What does Kim Jong Un have in common with Trump? Both are liars.
margbrennan And launched cyber attacks against American targets while the 2 love birds were flirting.
Good
Trump fails again!
'I'm the best deal maker!!!!' He said.
Bbbbbut Kim sent me a love letter. I thought we were an item.
KIM JONG KNOW DONALD TRUMP IS THE IDIOT POTUS HE KNOW TRUMP WILL FOR ANYTHING HE SAY, INCLUDING ' FRIED ICE CREAM'
So they’re not DEnuclearizing but REnuclearizing—further proof it’s safe to assume the opposite of what Trump says is true. Resist We made a deck of playing cards. KnowYourDeplorables
Good for them. Everyone needs to protect their ppl from the US
Read more history. Old Japan military groups attacked Korea several times and China also attacked Korea many times because of geographic attraction. Big two tried to get this place. US came here later with slogan FREEDOM with UN members. What should you do at this point ?
So South Koreans are concerned about this and have to try Nukes, too. Then Japan will also militarize itself. Recollect that Japan raided Hawaii and US dropped A-bombs to Hirosima and Nagasaki, which is trauma. To prevent all, only UN can do and should be here Korea DMZ.
Fortunately enough, they are 'rebuilding' on a North Korean budget.
propornot WTF? Well, now it's time for,,,,, Excuse means a LIE! Draft Dodging Coward Trump: If I was wrong about Kim, 'I'll find some kind of an excuse'
Trump should not have conducted a summit without a prior agreement or deal with North Korea. The failure of Trump to reach a deal has created a big security gap and vulnerability. Trump has created this vulnerability that would not be easy to manage.NK knows all our weaknesses
What’s a satellite launch site?
United States of Banana
I need 24 hour satellite there.
CnBsNana KimJongUn saw Trump coming. For a deal maker, Trump's ineptness is astounding. I knew Kim would get the better of Trump. NPRK nuclear nuclearwar NorthKorea VietnamSummit RESIST TrumpResign TrumpCorruption TrumpRussia Vietnam
TomAshbrook We were told it wouldn't be hard for them to return it to service.
Disgusting. We got played.
smells like fake news...again
Hey now we can go to war much easier now.
What will the maga cult say about this
He just made a plume fool out of this fool 🤪🤪🤩
So much winning.
Gosh, if only there was a way to actually ensure compliance with denuclearization agreements. It would involve making some sort of ‘deal’ with say, Iran, requiring thorough inspections in exchange for concessions. But who could imagine that such a Deal could actually exist!
probably launched bombs somewhere, I really hope not in the ocean because there's valuables there
What? North Korea lied? I’m shocked!
Well, since Trump does not care or read intelligence reports from US agencies and takes Kim Jong Un at 'his word', we should not worry about anything. They will meet soon again & a beautiful friendship and love will continue.... Stay tuned!
realDonaldTrump got played. Trump is a chump.
It must have been those damn Michael Cohen hearings.
Dismantled... Rebuilding... Tomato... Tomahto...
Trump you see this!!
Not to worry; they plan on shooting the Nobel Prize at the US.
They’re humiliating Trump, touché
Gee no wonder Kim was in such a rush to leave.
So much winning from The Greatest Dealmaker In The History Of Deals.
Thanks Trump.
Anyone else? 🙋♂️
But..but...they’re in LOVE!!
Looks like trump lied again
because of course they did
Here's Wapo now running a close third on the story. Langley must have them all on a schedule.
I’m no expert but this seems like the opposite of “no longer a threat”
Wow!!! and that’s not surprising. Yawns
