Former Defense Secretary Ash Carter told CNN on Thursday that he thinks the Obama administration could have done more on the problem of North Korea’s nuclear program.
“I think the Obama administration could have done more,” Carter told CNN’s Christiane Amanpour when she asked if it had paid too much attention to Iran and not enough to North Korea.
Carter said there was a concern “six, seven years ago” that North Korea would “obtain the capability to put a nuclear warhead atop a missile that could reach the United States” – which North Korea is now months away from being able to do, according to officials and experts.
“We knew that was a possibility six, seven years ago,” he told Amanpour.
