Satellite images suggest North Korea is building a light-water reactor and working on uranium enrichment. This is troubling.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
And also, we are providing, you know, a nuclear power plant in the north, two light water systems, so some 4 or 5 billion dollars we are providing to meet with North Korean requests on the condition North Korea will not produce a nuclear weapon.
It's very certain that North Korea is developing nuclear weapons for offensive purposes. They don't need nuclear weapons to defend their own country.
The North Koreas of the world are trying very hard to acquire the material they need to acquire nuclear weapons, as is the case with Iran.
Seen from the United States or Europe, Iran's nuclear program often causes most concern, but from the perspective of countries in the Asia-Pacific region, the North Korean program is equally worrying.
North Korea is going to get away with keeping its nuclear weapons.
Bear in mind North Korea has been the leading source, a leading source of nuclear technology and of missile delivery systems to some of the world's great rogues in Iran and Syria.
Our reactor actually burns nuclear waste as fuel. So not only is it safe and powerful, it solves an important issue: It actually reduces nuclear waste instead of creating. It's the reactor of your dreams.
If we are to assume that North Korea becomes a nuclear-power state, of course the danger of having an all-out nuclear war, that possibility is very slim.
We have evidence that Iran makes a reactor to possess nuclear weapons.
When George W. Bush came into office, North Korea had maybe one nuclear weapon and verifiably wasn't producing any more.
