In his first network interview as CIA director, Mike Pompeo discussed the escalating threat from North Korea, stating that leader Kim Jong-un is only "a handful of months" away from delivering an attack on the territorial U.S.
"We'll never know the exact nature of what's taking place. We'll never know the exact moment that they're going to continue [to detonate another nuclear bomb]... But the core risk ... [is that] North Korea's nuclear weapons program is continuing to expand, advance, become more powerful, more capable, more reliable."
