The head of U.S. Forces Korea said North Korea's 'activity that we've observed is inconsistent with denuclearization.'
The head of U.S. Forces Korea has warned that North Korea did not appear to be denuclearizing in the wake of last month's summit, from which President Donald Trump walked away with no deal.
U.S. Army General Robert Abrams testifies during his nomination hearing to be commander of U.S. Forces Korea, on Capitol Hill in Washington, September 25, 2018. JIM WATSON/AFP/Getty Images U.S. officials appeared to harden their position after the talks, affirming they sought a complete, verifiable and irreversible denuclearization with zero preconditions and laying new sanctions against Chinese companies doing business with North Korea. Trump appeared to lead a reversal, however, as he announced Friday the termination of"additional large scale Sanctions" via Twitter.
