A new report from NBC News says that North Korea has actually “increased” its nuclear production at multiple secret sites.

Earlier this month, after his big summit with Kim Jong Un, President Donald Trump tweeted “There is no longer a Nuclear Threat from North Korea”:

Just landed – a long trip, but everybody can now feel much safer than the day I took office. There is no longer a Nuclear Threat from North Korea. Meeting with Kim Jong Un was an interesting and very positive experience. North Korea has great potential for the future!

NBC News is reporting that “analysts at the CIA and other intelligence agencies don’t see it that way”:

U.S. intelligence agencies believe that North Korea has increased its production of fuel for nuclear weapons at multiple secret sites in recent months — and that Kim Jong Un may try to hide those facilities as he seeks more concessions in nuclear talks with the Trump administration, U.S. officials told NBC News.

One anonymous official said that even though the missile tests have stopped, “there’s no evidence that they are decreasing stockpiles, or that they have stopped their production… There is absolutely unequivocal evidence that they are trying to deceive the U.S.”
