President Trump praised his administration’s work with North Korea Tuesday, despite concerns over Kim Jong-un’s commitment to the Singapore summit agreement.
Mr. Trump said that conversations with the North Korean leader is going well, noting that the isolated country has not tested any of its nuclear projects or weapons systems in eight months.
Many good conversations with North Korea-it is going well! In the meantime, no Rocket Launches or Nuclear Testing in 8 months. All of Asia is thrilled. Only the Opposition Party, which includes the Fake News, is complaining. If not for me, we would now be at War with North Korea!

White House National Security Adviser John R. Bolton claimed on Sunday that North Korea’s nuclear program could completely dissolve in one year, depending on the success of negotiations with and cooperation from Mr. Kim.
However, some experts are concerned that North Korea is using negotiations to stall and continue its nuclear program in secret.
Secretary of State Michael Pompeo is scheduled to visit North Korea on Thursday to continue the denuclearization talks.
