Just last week after returning from his summit with Kim Jong Un, Donald Trump said there was no longer a Nuclear threat from North Korea.
Just landed – a long trip, but everybody can now feel much safer than the day I took office. 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!

Which doesn’t exactly explain why he extended the 10 year national emergency over North Korea’s nuclear weapons threat, writing to Congress: North Korea’s “provocative, destabilizing, and repressive actions…continue to constitute an unusual and extraordinary threat’ to the United States.”
