Bolton disputes NYT report on U.S. acceptance of N. Korea nuclear freeze

Описание

U.S. National Security Advisor John Bolton has dismissed reports claiming Washington may settle for less than North Korea's complete denuclearization. Referring to a New York Times report on Sunday that suggested the Trump administration may accept a nuclear freeze by the regime, Bolton tweeted that he and his staff had never heard nor discussed such an idea. Calling the speculation a reprehensible attempt to box in the President, Bolton said there should be consequences. The U.S. has continuously called on North Korea for a full and verifiable shutdown of its nuclear weapons program before concessions are made, such as offering sanctions relief.
