Trump: VERIFICATION of NK denuclearization will be "achieved by having a lot of people there"...USA!
Pompeo said on Monday that the United States had been “fooled before” by Pyongyang.
“Many presidents previously have signed off on pieces of paper, only to find that the North Koreans either didn’t promise what we thought they had or actually reneged on their promises,” he said.
“The ‘V’ matters,” Pompeo continued, referring to verification. “We are going to ensure that we set up a system sufficiently robust that we’re able to verify these outcomes.”
Asked at Tuesday’s press conference about the “V” word, Trump insisted that North Korea’s denuclearization efforts “will be verified.”
When quizzed on how that would be accomplished, however, Trump replied that it would be “achieved by having a lot of people there ... combinations of both” American officials and international representatives.
