Pompeo said there was &#8220;an awful long way to go&#8221; before North Korea could no longer be viewed as a nuclear threat.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">According to the Post, U.S. officials suspect that North Korea\u2019s strategy is possibly to assert that they have fully denuclearized by declaring and disposing of 20 warheads while retaining dozens more.<\/p>\n\n\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>New evidence including satellite photos indicates work is underway on at least one and maybe two
