WaPo’s Nakamura: N. Korea ‘Taking Efforts To Conceal What They Have and Continue To Move Forward with the Program’

EXCERPT: 

NAKAMURA: "I think you’re seeing a sign probably from Kim Jong-un. I mean, he was there with a top level Chinese official that’s already frustrating the White House, China’s role with North Korea maybe not putting as much pressure on them as he’d like to get serious about denuclearization. But I think Kim Jong-un is reading the signs that President Trump cancelled the trip of his Secretary of State to Pyongyang saying there’s not enough progress. They don’t want to inflame him unnecessarily. So I think it is a sign that Kim is trying to put these things back on track. However, I think analysts are right to say that we haven’t seen any real progress on the denuclearization and the more time goes by, U.S. intelligence agencies are saying North Korea is not denuclearizing. They’re not ramping it down. In fact, behind the scenes, they’re taking efforts to conceal what they have and continue to move forward with the program."
