Donald Trump said on Sunday the North Korean nuclear crisis was far from conclusion, striking a cautious note a day after the North’s pledge to end nuclear tests raised hopes before planned summits with South Korea and the US. North Korea said on Saturday it was suspending nuclear and missile tests and scrapping its nuclear test site, and instead pursuing economic growth and peace. “We are a long way from conclusion on North Korea, maybe things will work out, and maybe they won’t – only time will tell ... “North Korea has a long history of raising the issue of denuclearisation and has committed to freeze its nuclear weapons programmes in the past,” said Nam Sung-wook, a professor of North Korean Studies at Korea University in Seoul. The two leaders are expected to talk over the newly installed phone for the first time this week, South Korea said on Friday.
