Kim Jong Un of North Korea to Allow Nuclear Inspections: Trump
The official news feed of Democratic Peoples Republic of Korea (a.k.a. North Korea) has not issued any such statement to endorse Trump’s claims.

The U.S. President Donald Trump claimed today that the supreme leader of North Korea Kim Jong Un has agreed to allow inspections of nuclear sites in his country.
However, Trump quickly added that inspections will happen depending on the final negotiations. That means Trump is once again spreading rumors about North Korea as he has been doing for multiple other issues including the Russia probe.
Trump also said there will be no rocket or nuclear testing by North Korea without explaining the basis of his assertion. Moreover, Trump stated that North and South Korea will file a joint bid to host the 2032 Olympics.
Kim Jong Un has agreed to allow Nuclear inspections, subject to final negotiations, and to permanently dismantle a test site and launch pad in the presence of international experts. In the meantime there will be no Rocket or Nuclear testing. Hero remains to continue being……..

Earlier in June this year, Trump had met his counterpart North Korean leader Kim Jong Un at an exclusive summit in Singapore. The United States delegation at the bilateral meeting included Secretary of State Mike Pompeo, Chief of Staff John Kelly, and National Security Advisor John Bolton.
The chattering classes believe that Trump had taken this unprecedented step to meet North Korea’s dictator with the aim to divert people’s attention from the special counsel Robert Mueller’s ongoing probe to know the extent of Trump-Russia ties.
Trump had attacked his opponents before the summit, saying that all those “haters and losers” are wrong when they say that his meeting with Kim Jong Un is a major loss for the U.S.
“We have our hostages, testing, research and all missile launches have stopped, and these pundits, who have called me wrong from the beginning, have nothing else they can say! We will be fine!,” Trump had said.
The United Nations Secretary-General António Guterres had said that the summit between the leaders of the United States and North Korea is “a promising development for global peace and security.”
