Trump Touts Summit Success After Securing $10 Billion Deal To Sell Nuclear Warheads to North Korea
SINGAPORESaying the agreement represents a major high point in American international relations, President Trump concluded his summit with Kim Jong-un Monday by securing a $10 billion trade deal to sell both strategic and tactical nuclear warheads directly to North Korea.
There was some negotiating involved in getting [Jong-un] to buy as many nukes as we wanted to sell, but by cutting the price, we came out with a deal thats profitable for America and therefore good for the world, said Trump of the pact, which requires the United States to provide the East Asian authoritarian state with 50 thermonuclear fusion weapons over the next five years.
Were taking this $10 billion and investing it right back into our economy, our arms industry, and especially our great military, because now more than ever were going to need them to help train, supply, and reinforce North Korean troops.
At press time, Trump had threatened to pull out of the deal in a series of invective-laced tweets accusing Kim Jong-un of attempting to acquire $10 billion worth of nuclear weapons.
