Kim Jong Un Warns of Escalating Nuclear Threat

North Korean leader Kim Jong Un has accused the United States of escalating tensions on the Korean peninsula, asserting that the risk of nuclear war is at an unprecedented level. In speeches at military exhibitions, Kim criticized the U.S. for its 'hostile and aggressive' policies, which he claims have consistently shown a lack of interest in peaceful coexistence. Kim remarked that past negotiations, including those with former President Trump, failed to yield concrete results due to the U.S.'s insistence on North Korea abandoning its nuclear arsenal. He argued that North Korea must continue to enhance its military capabilities to ensure its security. Kim's statements come amid ongoing concerns about North Korea's expanding nuclear arsenal and its potential to target the U.S. mainland. The situation has been exacerbated by recent U.S.-South Korea military drills, which North Korea perceives as provocations.
