The DPRK authorities intend to secretly preserve part of the nuclear weapons and infrastructure for its production in violation of the denuclearization agreement, reports The Washington Post with reference to four unnamed American officials, familiar with intelligence reports.
According to American intelligence reports received after the Summit on June 12, Pyongyang is misleading Washington regarding the number of nuclear warheads and missiles available in the DPRK, as well as the quantity and purpose of military facilities.
So, in addition to the Uranus enrichment enterprise in Yonben, which the United States was known about in 2010, American intelligence learned about the existence of a secret underground enrichment plant in Kangson.
Some intelligence officers a year ago estimated the number of nuclear nuclear warheads available to North Korea in 65, while representatives of the DPRK declare a much smaller number of nuclear charges.
On June 30, NBC News reported with reference to American intelligence that in recent months Pyongyang has increased the production of nuclear fuel at several secret facilities. It was noted that in connection with the negotiations of disarmament with the White House, the North Korean regime may try to conceal these objects.
On June 12, US President Donald Trump and the North Korean dictator Kim Jong -un met in Singapore. The leaders of the two countries signed a declaration of complete denuclearization of the Korean Peninsula in exchange for security guarantees for Pyongyang by the United States.
As part of the execution of the agreement, Washington presented 47 requirements to North Korea . They include the destruction of the entire nuclear, chemical and biological weapons, the entire infrastructure for the nuclear program, as well as all missiles.
On June 11, the South Korean publication "Chunan Ilbo" reported that Kim Jong -un proposed Trump to hold the second round of negotiations in July in Pyongyang. According to the publication, the third stage of consultations can take place in September in Washington - by this moment it is planned to prepare the "road map" of nuclear disarmament of North Korea.
On June 23, Trump extended for the year of sanctions against the DPRK. The American administration said that North Korea, due to its nuclear program, still "continues to pose an urgent and extreme threat to the US national security."
