How the intelligence agencies wildly underestimated North Korea's nuclear capabilities: Trump was told he had YEARS before there would be a missile capable of hitting the US
American intelligence agencies initially believed that North Korea was still years away from developing a missile that could reach the United States - but may have gotten their predictions wrong, a new report claims.
When President Donald Trump first took office almost a year ago, intelligence agencies told the new administration that they had at least four years to come up with a plan to slow or stop North Korea's development of an atomic bomb that was capable of striking US soil, the New York Times reports.
Agency officials believed the East Asia country's leader Kim Jong un faced a wide range of issues that would give Trump and his administration more than enough time to negotiate or look into countermeasures.
