Trump denounces the North Korean missile program in the New York Times: "Even more false news"


[ad_1]

President Trump criticized the New York Times for his recent report on North Korea's missile program.

"The story of the New York Times regarding the development of missile bases in North Korea is inaccurate. We are very familiar with the sites being discussed, nothing new – and nothing is happening out of the ordinary. Just more fake news. I'll be the first to let you know if things are going wrong! Trump tweeted Tuesday.

The British newspaper The Times said on Monday: "North Korea continues its ballistic missile program in 16 hidden bases identified in new commercial satellite images, a long-established network of US intelligence agencies but not discussed, President Trump asserting Have neutralized the North nuclear threat. "

He also noted that the existence of these bases "contradicts Trump's claim that his historic diplomacy led to the elimination of the nuclear program and the missiles that the North had warned could destroy the United States." .
