John Bolton: US has plan to dismantle North Korea nuclear program

CAIRO – 2 July 2018: US President Donald Trump's national security adviser said Sunday the US has a plan that would lead to the dismantling of North Korea's nuclear weapons and ballistic missile programs in a year, NBC News reported.

John Bolton said top US diplomat Mike Pompeo will be discussing that plan with North Korea in the near future. Bolton added that it would be to the North's advantage to cooperate to see sanctions lifted quickly and aid from South Korea and Japan start to flow.

Bolton's remarks on CBS' "Face the Nation" appeared to be the first time the Trump administration had publicly suggested a timeline for North Korea to fulfill the commitment leader Kim Jong Un made at a summit with President Donald Trump last month for the "complete denuclearization" of the Korean Peninsula.
