North Korean dictator Kim Jong-un says his country will never give up its nuclear weapons as he laments Donald Trump’s war on Iran. He accused the US of carrying out “state terrorism” around the world – the reason being to “permanently secure our nuclear arsenal”.
He said: “Today’s reality clearly demonstrates the validity of our country’s strategic choice and decision to reject the sweet talks of enemies and permanently secure our nuclear arsenal.” This appears to be in the context of a conversation donald trump In 2019, that broke down and Kim increased nuclear missile production as a result.
“We will continue to firmly consolidate our status as a nuclear-armed state as an irreversible course by aggressively pursuing our struggle against hostile forces,” he said.
Although the dictator did not explicitly name Iran, he accused the US of “state terrorism and aggression around the world.”
He said: “The United States and its allies are increasingly bringing nuclear strategic assets into areas around our country, shaking the foundations of regional security.
“I affirm that our country is no longer a country under threat – we now have the power to pose a threat when needed.
“The solid construction of the nuclear shield firmly guarantees and drives the development of all sectors of the country, including economy and culture, as well as the improvement of people’s lives.”
The country is believed to have one of the world’s largest stockpiles of chemical weapons.
