Trump claimed the U.S. "would right now, in my opinion, be in a major war with North Korea" if he wasn't president. Schumer said Trump's foreign policy is "inside-out" with Trump "patting dictators on the back and attacking our allies." Trump has said his outreach to Kim and their first meeting last June in Singapore opened a path to peace. Denuclearizing North Korea is something that has eluded the U.S. for more than two decades, since it was first learned that North Korea was close to acquiring the means for nuclear weapons. Satellite video taken since the June summit has indicated North Korea is continuing to produce nuclear materials at its weapons factories.
