North Korean leader Kim Jong-un renewed his call for a “limitless” expansion of his military nuclear program to counter US-led threats, in the first direct criticism toward Washington since Donald Trump’s win in the US presidential election.
At a conference with army officials on Friday, Mr Kim condemned the United States for updating its nuclear deterrence strategies with South Korea and solidifying three-way military cooperation involving Japan, which he portrayed as an “Asian Nato” that was escalating tensions and instability in the region.
