Secretary of State Mike Pompeo contradicted President Trump’s view that North Korea is no longer a nuclear threat.

In an interview on CNN Sunday about Trump’s summit in Vietnam this week with President Kim Jong Un, Pompeo said the administration is “hopeful” that the meeting will get the two sides closer to “achieving full denuclearization in a verifiable way” in North Korea.

“Do you think North Korea remains a nuclear threat?” asked Jake Tapper, the host of “State of the Union.”

“Yes,” Pompeo said.

“But the president said he doesn’t,” Tapper said.

“That’s not what he said,” Pompeo responded.

The CNN host cited a tweet from the president last June after his summit with Kim in Singapore.

“Just landed – a long trip, but everybody can now feel much safer than the day I took office,” Trump tweeted after their first meeting. “There is no longer a Nuclear Threat from North Korea. Meeting with Kim Jong Un was an interesting and very positive experience. North Korea has great potential for the future!”

But Pompeo said Trump had reduced the belligerent behavior from Kim that included test-firing a number of rockets from the peninsula.

“What he said was that the efforts that had been made in Singapore, this commitment that Chairman Kim made, had substantially taken down the risk to the American people,” Pompeo said. “It’s the mission of the secretary of state and the president of the United States to keep the American people secure. We’re aiming to achieve that.”

Pompeo’s view matches the conclusion of the US intelligence community that North Korea remains a nuclear threat.

“We currently assess that North Korea will seek to retain its WMD capabilities, and is unlikely to completely give up its nuclear weapons and production capabilities,” Dan Coats, the director of national intelligence, told a congressional panel last month. “Our assessment is bolstered by our observations of some activity that is inconsistent with full denuclearization.”

Trump and Kim will meet on Tuesday and Wednesday in Hanoi.
