US President Donald Trump has renewed sanctions on North Korea, citing an "extraordinary threat" from its nuclear weapons - just 10 days after saying there was no risk from Pyongyang.

"There is no longer a Nuclear Threat from North Korea," he tweeted on 13 June, a day after meeting the country's leader Kim Jong-un in Singapore.

"The existence and risk of proliferation of weapons-usable fissile material on the Korean Peninsula (and_ the actions and policies of the government of North Korea... Continue to constitute an unusual and extraordinary threat to the national security, foreign policy, and economy of the US," Trump wrote in the declaration.

Friday's development comes in contrast to a tweet on June 13 where Trump said: "Just landed - a long trip, but everybody can now feel much safer than the day I took office... There is no longer a nuclear threat from North Korea."

President Donald Trump declared Wednesday that the North Korean regime no longer poses a nuclear threat following his summit with Kim Jong Un, even though the meeting produced no verifiable proof that the rogue regime will discontinue its nuclear program.

In a series of tweets, Trump sought to take political credit for the summit but risked undermining the US strategy in the region.

Trump has done everything Kim has asked so I'm still hopeful they will denuke

A North Korea with no Nukes is still able to exterminate life on this planet or any country they want. They have huge amounts of conventional weapons capable of wiping out South Korea or Tokyo and supposedly sit on the worlds biggest supply of biological weapons. Russia and China can't wait to get in there, South Korea won't like that. It's never going to be at peace due to their location.

Will never be a resolved matter, just a what's next..

Trump boasted at a Cabinet meeting Thursday that his administration has had “tremendous success” with North Korea, adding that denuclearization had already begun.

The president’s comments, however, ran counter to remarks Defense Secretary James Mattis made the day before. Mattis told reporters Wednesday that he wasn’t aware that North Korea had taken any steps yet toward denuclearization. “I’m not aware of any."

North Korea showed no public sign at the summit or since that it is now willing to implement the complete, irreversible and verifiable destruction of its nuclear programs that trump promised.

They only had nukes to protect themselves from American invasion, so there's no real reason for him to have them since Trump has backed down. Would make China very happy too, they can protect them, with a few Chinese military bases on the South Korean border.

Denuking involves many inspectors checking each step, I'd guess Kim has a lot of "other" stuff he'd liked moved from prying eyes before that happens. It was never going to be an over night thing, I recall reading 7 year min estimate.

Then again..

It could topple over and end in a nuclear exchange in a 140 character tweet. What's good is Trump's removed the threat from most of the world, its purely a USA vs North Korea thing now, allies are staying well back from the Lunatic in Chief.
