A CNN reporter asked a North American Aerospace Defense Command officer if potential denuclearization in North Korea means he’ll be out of a job.

President Trump is pushing North Korean leader Kim Jong Un to get rid of his nuclear weapons as the two leaders prepare for a summit next month in Singapore.

“If there is a deal to actually denuclearize the Korean Peninsula, is your work done here?” reporter Scott McLean asked.

“No. No, it’s not,” Col. Travis Morehen responded. “We need to be able to respond to any threat from any nation. In my opinion, our work will never be done.”





NORAD is a joint Canada-U.S. organization that is tasked with warning of incoming threats from airspace.
