bdmetronews Desk ॥ President Trump’s second summit with Kim Jong-un didn’t go very well. After months of touting the “friendship,” “love” and “special bond” he shares with the dictator, Trump “walked” from negotiations in Hanoi last week without any sort of agreement.
Two days later, satellite imagery revealed that North Korea has been rebuilding one of its long-range rocket sites.
“This renewed activity, taken just two days after the inconclusive Hanoi Summit between President Donald Trump and North Korean leader Kim Jong Un, may indicate North Korean plans to demonstrate resolve in the face of U.S. rejection of North Korea’s demands at the summit to lift five U.N. Security Council sanctions enacted in 2016-2017,” said analysts at Beyond Parallel in a report published Tuesday.
According to 38 North, the “rapid” rebuild of the Sohae Satellite Launching Station began sometime between February 16th and March 2nd. Trump’s summit with Kim in Hanoi unraveled on February 28th.
