North Korea’s leader Kim Jong-un could have his nuclear missiles ready to hit the United States in a “handful of months”, the director the CIA has warned.
Speaking to the BBC, he said: “Today the pressure campaign continues we are hopeful but our task at the CIA is to make sure if the day comes that that does not work, we’re prepared to help the President achieve that objective.”
Asked about a timeline for a possible strike by Kim Jong-un, Pompeo said: “I’ll leave it to others to talk about the red lines that is the policy determinations.
“With respect to our understanding of the programme, I think that we collectively, the United States and our intelligence partners around the world, have developed a pretty clear understanding of Kim Jong-un’s capability.
“We talk about him having the ability to deliver a nuclear weapon to the United States in a matter of a handful of months.”
“We are mindful that Kim Jong-un continues to present a risk not only to the United States but to the world.”
The CIA chief also said President Donald Trump’s tweets helped get America’s message across.
He said: “Kim Jong-un has never appreciated the risk that he presents to the world in the way that he does today.
“So when you see the language the President chooses to use, the many audiences for it and I assure you, Kim Jong-un understands the message that America is serious about this.”
