(23 Jan 2018) CIA Director Mike Pompeo says the intelligence agency is bolstering efforts to help interdict shipments to the North Korea regime, which he said is moving "ever closer" to putting Americans at risk with its nuclear weapons.
Pompeo says he believes leader Kim Jong Un won't rest until he's able to threaten multiple nuclear attacks against the U.S. at the same time.
At an event in Washington on Tuesday, Pompeo also said the CIA believes Kim would not only use nuclear weapons to stay in power, but to try to reunify the divided Korean Peninsula under his totalitarian regime.
He says North Korea is a handful of months from being able to hold America at risk, but hopes that timeline is the same a year from now.
The former congressman from Kansas spoke Tuesday at the American Enterprise Institute, a conservative-leaning think tank in Washington.
