If you look at North Korea's denuclearization from a technical point of view, then it can be completed within a year, but, likely, That will not happen, reports TASS statement of US natsrazvedki Daniel Coates.
On security forum, held in Colorado, Coates was asked to comment on the words of Assistant US president's national security, John Bolton, saying, that Pyongyang's nuclear program can be completely collapse one year.
technically it, of course, perhaps, but, likely, That will not happen, said the head of intelligence.
Denuclearization - a difficult process, much more difficult, than many think, he added.
Coates reminded, that earlier North Korean leadership does not always fulfill the agreements, progress in negotiations with the previous administrations. Therefore, the present government is taking all possible measures, that did not happen again.
Touching upon the sanctions against Pyongyang, he noted, that they adhere to almost all countries, including China and Russia.
I think, that Moscow and Beijing see the danger in North Korea, possessing nuclear weapons, said Coates.
In June, Donald Trump and Kim Jong-un after the summit in Singapore signed a document, in which the North Korean leader has declared its readiness to completely dismantle nuclear and missile programs. In turn, the US pledged as a retaliatory step to provide security guarantees to Pyongyang.
