The White House in an announcement on Friday said North Korea remains an “unusual and extraordinary threat” to the United States despite President Trump’s assertion last week that Pyongyang “is no longer a nuclear threat.”
The Trump administration on Friday issued a routine notice to Congress describing the threat as reasoning for keeping sanctions in place on North Korea.
“The existence and risk of proliferation of weapons-usable fissile material on the Korean Peninsula and the actions and policies of the Government of North Korea continue to pose an unusual and extraordinary threat to the national security, foreign policy, and economy of the United States,” the notice read.
The president, upon returning from his summit in Singapore last week with North Korean leader Kim Jong Un, said Pyongyang “no longer” posed a nuclear threat.

Did anyone really think the NK threat was gone after the so-called “historic summit” and “agreement?”
