North Korean leader Kim Jong Un recently addressed the ongoing tensions between his country and the United States, emphasizing the perceived hostility from Washington as a driving force behind his nation's nuclear buildup. Kim's remarks were made during a defense exhibition where North Korea showcased its formidable weapons systems, including intercontinental ballistic missiles capable of targeting the U.S. mainland.
Kim expressed disillusionment with past negotiations with the U.S., stating that they only served to confirm what he described as Washington's 'unchangeable' antagonism towards Pyongyang. He highlighted the failure of previous summits with the U.S., alluding to disagreements over sanctions relief and denuclearization efforts.
