President Trump just issued a warning :
We’ve heard this from North Korea before. The difference now is…
In 2015, North Korea said it had the ability to miniaturize nuclear weapons. In March 2017, North Korea claimed it made that happen, the state-run Korean Central News Agency reported at the time.
A US intelligence assessment concluded in March this year that North Korea “probably” possesses that kind miniaturized nuclear warhead.
At that time, the US officials who said North Korea likely has the warhead noted that they don’t know if the device would actually work. That assessment had yet to become a formal consensus view of the US government.
The difference now? US intelligence has assessed that North Korea has produced this kind of technology.
