\u201cextraordinary threat\u201d<\/a> to the United States.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">In an executive order, the president extended for one year the so-called \u201cnational emergency\u201d with respect to the nuclear-armed nation, re-authorizing economic restrictions against it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">While expected, the declaration comes just nine

Korea no longer a nuke threat?<\/h3>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<p class=\"smg-interstitial-link__excerpt\">President Donald Trump stretched credulity at home and abroad Wednesday by declaring there is \u201cno longer a Nuclear Threat from North Korea\u201d after his summit with Kim Jong Un that reduced tensions but produced no details on how or when Pyongyang might disarm.<\/p>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/a>\n\t<\/aside>\n\t\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">It states that \u201cthe existence and risk of proliferation of weapons-usable fissile material\u201d and the actions and policies of the North Korean government \u201ccontinue to pose an unusual and extraordinary threat to the national security, foreign policy, and economy of the United States.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The national emergency has been in place since 2008 and is a sign of the enduring tensions between the U.S. and North Korea that spiked last year as the North moved closed to perfecting a nuclear-tipped missile that could reach American soil, but ebbed with the June 12 summit where Kim agreed to \u201ccomplete denuclearization\u201d of the Korean Peninsula.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The two sides, however, still have to negotiate the terms under which the North would give up its nukes and win relief from sanctions \u2014 a goal that has eluded U.S. administrations for a quarter-century.<\/p>\n\n\n\t<aside class=\"smg-interstitial-link wp-block-smg-interstitial-link\">\n\t\t<a

denuclearization is littered with failure<\/h3>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<p class=\"smg-interstitial-link__excerpt\">While Seoul and Washington welcomed Pyongyang\u2019s declaration on Saturday to suspend further intercontinental ballistic missile tests and shut down its nuclear test site, the past is littered with failure.<\/p>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/a>\n\t<\/aside>\n\t\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Trump claimed at a Cabinet meeting Thursday that denuclearization had already begun, although Defense Secretary James Mattis told reporters a day earlier that he wasn\u2019t aware that North Korea had taken any steps yet toward denuclearization, and that detailed negotiations have not yet begun.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Meanwhile, the Pentagon said Friday evening that it has \u201c<a href=\"https:\/\/www.militarytimes.com\/news\/your-military\/2018\/06\/22\/mattis-exercises-with-south-korea-indefinitely-suspended\/\" title=\"\" class=\"\" target=\"_blank\">indefinitely suspended<\/a>\u201d a major military exercise with South Korea, known as <a

Guard<\/a> and scheduled for August, as well as two Korean Marine exchange training exercises.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Officials had announced Monday that planning for Freedom Guard had been suspended in line with Trump\u2019s decision to halt what he called U.S. \u201cwar games\u201d in South Korea.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">A Pentagon spokeswoman, Dana W. White, said further decisions about military exercises in South Korea \u201cin support of diplomatic negotiations\u201d led by Secretary of State Mike Pompeo will depend on North Korea \u201ccontinuing to have productive negotiations in good faith.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>President Donald Trump declared Friday that North Korea still poses an
