Leon Panetta: North Korea Is Taking Advantage of Trump’s Naivete and Continues To Be a Nuclear Power

RUSH EXCERPT:

PANETTA: “I’ve been very concerned by how the president has handled North Korea. He’s been doing it based on his kind of personal relationship with Kim Jong-Un. He’s had high-level summits with Kim Jong-Un. Not just one but through meetings with Kim Jong-Un. And the end result is that we’re getting nowhere. And that North Korea continues for be a nuclear power. Has not engaged in any denuclearization. Has improved its missile system. Is now working on a submarine that is going to be able to fire missiles from that submarine. So from what I see, North Korea has really taken advantage of this relationship with the president. And the president is doing nothing to try to make sure that that threat to our security is being dealt with. That concerns me because I think it is — it’s a naive approach to a very real threat from North Korea.”
