White House national security adviser John Bolton on Sunday downplayed reports suggesting that North Korea is trying to conceal parts of its nuclear weapons program.
“We’re going to try and proceed to implement what the two leaders agreed to in Singapore,“ Bolton said on “Face the Nation“ on CBS, referring to President Donald Trump’s meeting last month with North Korean leader Kim Jong Un, saying responding to specific reports does not serve the purpose of advancing the negotiations.
Bolton said the Trump administration is not naive.
“We’re very well aware of North Korea’s patterns of behavior over decades of negotiating with the United States,“ adding: “There’s not any starry-eyed feeling among the group doing this.
