U.S. Intelligence Chief ‘Very Concerned’ on North Korea

North Korea’s nuclear weapons and missile programs pose a “serious threat” to the U.S. and its allies in Asia, according to U.S. intelligence agencies in an unclassified worldwide threat assessment.

Presenting the report to the Senate intelligence committee yesterday, Director of National Intelligence James Clapper said he is “very concerned” about the actions of North Korea’s leader Kim Jong Un and the “very belligerent” rhetoric that has been emanating from his regime.
