It’s starting to look like Trump will end up with EGG on his face… [VIDEO]

More evidence has come out that shows N. Korea building up and developing their ballistic missile program in the run up to the big meeting with Trump:

Here’s more:

North Korea continued to develop a key rocket-engine facility in the run-up to Kim Jong Un’s summit with U.S. President Donald Trump, according to an independent analysis of satellite imagery.

The Middlebury Institute of International Studies report found that North Korea has recently expanded a factory complex in the eastern city of Hamhung that produces key engines for solid-fuel ballistic missiles. The factory also makes other missile components, including re-entry vehicles for warheads that could be used on longer-range missiles capable of reaching the U.S.

“The expansion suggests that, despite hopes for denuclearization, Kim Jong Un is committed to increasing North Korea’s stockpile of nuclear-armed missiles,” the report’s authors David Schmerler and Jeffrey Lewis wrote.

The analysis, which was first reported by the Wall Street Journal, is the latest to undercut Trump’s assurances that North Korea is “no longer a nuclear threat” after his June 12 meeting with Kim in Singapore. U.S. intelligence officials have separately concluded that Kim was seeking to conceal his nuclear weapons stockpile and had no intention of surrendering his arsenal, NBC News reported.

The Middlebury report examined imagery from the weeks before the Trump-Kim summit, in which Kim agreed to “work toward complete denuclearization of the Korean Peninsula.” The expansion efforts came after the North Korean leader made a similar denuclearization pledge during his April 27th meeting with South Korean President Moon Jae-in.

Barbara Starr weighs in on this, saying that the Pentagon is very skeptical that Kim Jong Un is going to disclose everything to the US:

I think Trump meeting with Kim Jong Un was fine, but then to come out and immediately suggest that N. Korea is no longer a threat was ridiculous. Whether Trump is gullible or he’s just blowing hot air up the pant leg of Un, he never should have said it. And now it’s starting to look like Trump might end up with egg on his face – especially if Kim is really trying to hide his nuclear weapons stockpile.
