U.S. Director of National Intelligence Dan Coats said on Thursday.... it was technically possible for North Korea to eliminate its nuclear weapons program within a year,.... but the probability of it happening is low.
The remarks were made at the Aspen Security Forum in Colorado.... where he was asked about White House National Security Advisor John Bolton's claim.... that North Korea could denuclearize within a year,
Coats said.... the denuclearization of North Korea is much more complicated and difficult than most people think, and projected a longer time frame for the process.
