North Korea continuing nuclear programme - UN report

North Korea has not stopped its nuclear and missile programmes, violating UN sanctions, a report commissioned by the UN Security Council says. It also says Pyongyang has resorted to a "massive increase" of illegal ship-to-ship transfers of oil products and has been trying to sell weapons abroad.

The confidential report by a panel of independent experts was submitted to the UN Security Council on Friday. North Korea has so far not commented on the document's findings.

Last week, US officials said Pyongyang appeared to be building new ballistic missiles despite recent warming ties with US President Donald Trump's administration and pledges to denuclearise. Unnamed US officials told the Washington Post that spy satellites had spotted continuing activity at a site that has produced ballistic missiles.

    I have to agree with Acabatag. I'm deeply shocked and saddened that we have someone on the internets who doesn't know the difference between a worthless letter and a signed arms reduction treaty. Fix plz.

    He ACTUALLY seems to think something of measurable value was achieved.

    So... because a politician says something, that means the politician thinks it's true? You must bring a smile to the face of your used car dealer every time you come by.

    Let me point out this possible alternate scenario. I have heard it intimated that Trump may not always say the unvarnished truth. Perhaps you have heard these rumors also? It is thus a hypothetical possibility here, that Trump may have talked up a bit of showboating without the fullest sincerity possible.
