North Korea is ‘making improvements’ to nuclear test site

NORTH Korea has been making rapid improvements to its nuclear research facility — despite Kim Jong-un’s pledge to denuclearise during his summit with President Donald Trump, the New York Post reports.

The dictator promised to “work toward” the goal at the June 12 summit with President Trump in Singapore, which produced a vaguely worded agreement that provided few details about the rogue regime’s commitment.

Jenny Town, managing editor of respected website 38 North, wrote on Twitter: “Infrastructure improvements continue at Yongbyon. Underscores reason why an actual deal is necessary, not just a statement of lofty goals.”
