North Korea Affirms Nuclear Strength Amid Unchanged U.S. Hostile Policy
North Korea stated that the United States' hostile policy remains unchanged, rejecting calls for denuclearisation. The North Korean Foreign Ministry emphasized that its nuclear weapons are essential for sovereignty and will continue to be strengthened. It dismissed hopes for easing regional tensions or reviving dialogue, citing ongoing U.S. criticism, military exercises, and demands for complete denuclearisation. This position follows U.S. President Trump's recent reduction of joint military exercises with South Korea.
