Fox News’ Shep Smith on Tuesday skewered Donald Trump for insisting that he is the reason the US has avoided North Korea as the country expands its nuclear capabilities.
“What the world wants is for North Korea to abandon its nuclear program,” the host said. “What North Korea appears to be doing is expanding its nuclear program — yet President Trump says talks with the hermit kingdom are going well.”
In a tweet on Tuesday morning, the president lauded his talks with North Korean leader Kim Jong-un and took credit for avoiding a nuclear conflict.
“If not for me, we would now be at War with North Korea!” he wrote.
Smith played a clip of White House press secretary Sarah Huckabee Sanders claiming the Trump administration is continuing to push for “denuclearization” in North Korea — but as Smith noted, the country is doing the opposite in spite of its newly-positive relationship to the United States.
“Goals are great. Reality is awful,” the host said after introducing former CIA analyst and current counter-extremism expert Tara Maller. “How are we any better now than before all of this mess happened?”
“I was here with you after the [Kim-Trump] summit occurred,” Maller noted.
