North Korean top negotiator Kim Yong Chol reportedly heading to DC tomorrow, to meet with Pompeo and potentially to meet with Trump. This photo of Trump's last meeting with Yong Chol, where he carries a letter from Kim Jong Un, is amazing. Trafficked into the sex industry after defecting from North Korea, two young women spent years in captivity before finally getting the chance to escape. Despite the thaw in relations between north and south Korea, people are still risking their lives to flee the regime. Most escape via China but they face huge risks where they can be sent back if caught. Women are also trafficked from North Korea to China where they think they will get a job and earn some money but find themselves trapped for years on end.

For months, President Donald Trump and top administration officials have maintained that they struck an agreement with North Korea last June to end its nuclear program. But after US intelligence officials on Tuesday openly contradicted that, stating that North Korea likely won’t give up its arsenal, Trump seems to be walking that back just a bit. “Decent chance of denuclearization,” he tweeted on Wednesday. “Time will tell what will happen with North Korea.” A “decent chance.” That, folks, is what people in the political world call “moving the goalposts.”

North Korea has continued to produce bomb fuel while in denuclearization talks with the United States and may have produced enough in the past year to add as many as seven nuclear weapons to its arsenal, according to a study released just weeks before a planned second summit between the North Korean leader and U.S. President Donald Trump.
However, the country's freeze in nuclear and missile testing since 2017 mean that North Korea's weapons program probably poses less of a threat than it did at the end of that year, the report by Stanford University's Center for International Security and Cooperation found.
Siegfried Hecker, a former director of the U.S. Los Alamos weapons laboratory in New Mexico who is now at Stanford and was one of the report's authors, told Reuters analysis of satellite imagery showed North Korea's production of bomb fuel continued in 2018.

North Korea has tested several short-range missiles, according to reports from South Korea. They were fired from the Hodo peninsula in the east of the country, said South Korea's Joint Chiefs of Staff. If confirmed, it will be the first missile launch since Pyongyang tested an intercontinental ballistic missile in November 2017. Last month Pyongyang said it had tested what it described as a new "tactical guided weapon". That was the first test since the Vietnam summit between the North Korean leader, Kim Jong-un, and US President Donald Trump, which ended without agreement. President Trump walked away from what he described as a bad deal offered by Kim Jong-un in Hanoi in February.

North Korea has called the test of two new missiles on Thursday a "solemn warning" against what it described as "South Korean warmongers". The short-range missiles were fired into the Sea of Japan, also known as the East Sea, from Wonsan on North Korea's east coast. Leader Kim Jong-un said his country was forced to develop weapons to "eliminate potential and direct threats". He said the test involved a new tactical guided weapons system.
