Bolton responds to reports on North Korea weapons program: There’s no ‘starry eyed feeling’
By Brett Samuels - 07/01/18 11:29 AM EDT

National security adviser John Bolton said Sunday that North Korea has not yet provided the U.S. with details on the scope of its nuclear arsenal amid news reports that indicate North Korea is attempting to continue its nuclear program.

Bolton appeared on CBS's "Face the Nation," where he declined to address a Washington Post report that said U.S. officials believe North Korea does not intend to give up its nuclear weapons. The report contradicts President Trump's claim that North Korea is no longer a nuclear threat after his meeting with Kim Jong Un in Singapore last month.

"We're going to try and proceed to implement what the two leaders agreed to in Singapore, but rather than have a series of reports -- things are going better things are not going well, they are concealing this, they're not concealing that -- really it doesn't serve the purpose of advancing the negotiations," Bolton said Sunday.

"But there's not any ... starry eyed feeling among the group doing this that we're well, well aware of what the North Koreans have done in the past," he added.

In other words: we’re not going to provide anyone with any progress reports and we’re not going to insist on any transparency or verifiability. 

You’ll just have to trust us. 

Meet the new fool, same as the old fool.

I think the President was a bit premature in his victory march.  Reason I did not get excited.
