But General Robert Abrams, head of US Forces Korea, says upcoming Trump-Kim summit a ‚positive sign‘
North Korea’s nuclear and other military capabilities remain unchanged and still pose a threat to the United States and its allies, the top U. S. military commander in South Korea told a Senate hearing Tuesday.
„Little to no verifiable change has occurred in North Korea’s military capabilities,“ despite Pyongyang’s public statements about denuclearization, General Robert Abrams, head of U. S. Forces Korea, told the Senate Armed Services Committee.
The comments underscore the stalled diplomacy between the U. S. and North Korea since President Donald Trump and Kim Jong Un agreed last June in Singapore to work toward the denuclearization of the Korean peninsula.
Trump and Kim are set to hold a second summit in Vietnam later this month. U. S. officials have said they expect „significant and verifiable“ progress there.
„My personal opinion is the announcement of a second summit…is a positive sign of continued dialogue,“ Abrams said.
