Kim Jong Un calls for limitless expansion of North Korea's nuclear forces in response to US threats
North Korean leader Kim Jong Un has called for a "limitless" expansion of his nuclear forces, citing perceived threats from the United States. This marks his first direct criticism of the U.S. since Donald Trump's recent election victory. At a military conference, Kim condemned U.S. military cooperation with South Korea and Japan, which he described as an "Asian NATO." He also criticized U.S. support for Ukraine amid its conflict with Russia, claiming it escalates regional tensions. Kim's remarks come as North Korea has increased its military activities and testing. There are concerns that North Korea's support for Russia could lead to exchanges of military technology, further enhancing its nuclear capabilities.
