WASHINGTON — North Korea’s work on nuclear weapons and missiles is „inconsistent“ with its stated intent to move toward nuclear disarmament on the Korean Peninsula, the commander of American and allied forces in South Korea said Wednesday.
Army Gen. Robert Abrams, in testimony before the House Armed Services Committee, also said he has seen „little to no change“ in North Korea’s broader military capabilities, citing its typical pace of winter troop exercises.
Asked by Rep. Mac Thornberry of Texas, the panel’s ranking Republican, where there has been any recent change in the North’s production of nuclear weapons and material and missiles, Abrams said, „Their activity that we’ve observed is inconsistent with denuclearization.
