The decommissioning is set to begin in about three-to-four weeks, the same time as when U.S President Donald Trump has signalled he will travel to North Korea for long-awaited talks with Kim Jong-un. Joining us to discuss the situation is Dr Sung-Yoon Lee, an expert in US-Korea relations at Tufts University in Massachusetts.
