North Korean leader Kim Jong Un previously announced the conclusion of North Korea's nuclear testing program and the intended shuttering of the Punggye-ri complex. The statement Saturday gave greater details of the "technical measures" North Korea would take to dismantle the test site and "ensure transparency of discontinuance of the nuclear test." North Korea has announced that they will dismantle Nuclear Test Site this month, ahead of the big Summit Meeting on June 12th. Guards and researchers will be withdrawn, and the area surrounding the test site will be closed. Speaking Friday, Pompeo said any agreement with North Korea would have to include a "robust verification program" to ensure that Pyongyang complies.
