Latest News about Kim Jong-un
Kim Jong Un inspected a new facility producing weapons-grade nuclear material and called for an exponential expansion of North Koreaâs nuclear arsenal. State media said he claimed the country had more than doubled its production capacity over the past five years, framing the plant as part of a larger nuclear deterrent buildup.
Kim Jong Un used a Supreme Peopleâs Assembly session in Pyongyang to reaffirm North Koreaâs commitment to strengthening its nuclear deterrent. He also described South Korea as the countryâs main adversary and warned of a severe response to provocations while outlining economic and defense priorities for a new five-year plan.
Kim Jong Un said North Korea could completely destroy South Korea and linked any future talks with the United States to Washington ending its hostile policy. His remarks came during a key ruling party meeting, where he also stressed further weapons development and expanded nuclear capabilities.
