D The greyish and slightly fuzzy photos show a forest area far away from the Korean peninsula. There are several buildings, a tall tower – and a crane. The crane, as shown in the photo series, has apparently dismantled several of the buildings over the past weekend. The photos have been published by the North Korean specialized website "38 North". They could be the first sign that North Korea is seriously considering saying goodbye to its nuclear weapons someday. And the summit between US President Donald Trump and North Korean dictator Kim Jong-un was more than just a show.
The photos show North Korea's Sohae missile test site, a key facility for the North Korean missile program. A dismantling would be a clear signal that North Korea wants to follow the first actions of the Trump-Kim Summit. At least six weeks have pbaded since the two heads of state met in Singapore. There were great images at the time, big shaking hands and lavish praise from the American president for the Stalinist leader whom he had met a few months after the two men were still threatened with threats of nuclear war .
– but beyond this tangible: the final declaration included four chords, each of which was a single sentence. Only one of them concerned the North Korean nuclear program: "North Korea pledges to work for the complete denuclearization of the Korean peninsula". Details how exactly do this, no trace. All of this should then be discussed at the working level. At the press conference, Trump announced that Kim had agreed to destroy a major test facility for rocket engines.
