Pyongyang, SAEDNEWS, Jan. 9: North Korean leader Kim Jong Un said the United States is his nuclear-armed nation’s “biggest enemy” and threatened to vastly expand his nuclear arsenal.
Kim’s comments during a key meeting of the ruling party this week were seen as applying pressure on the incoming administration of President-elect Joe Biden, who has called Kim a “thug” and has criticised his summits with President Donald Trump.
“Our foreign political activities should be focused and redirected on subduing the US, our biggest enemy and main obstacle to our innovated development,” the state-run Korean Central News Agency quoted Kim on Saturday as saying.
“No matter who is in power in the US, the true nature of the US and its fundamental policies towards North Korea never change,” Kim said, pledging to expand ties with “anti-imperialist, independent forces” and calling for expanded nuclear capabilities.
The declaration came less than two weeks before Biden’s inauguration and after a tumultuous relationship between Kim and the outgoing Trump.
There was no immediate comment from the US State Department. A spokesman for the Biden campaign declined to comment (Source: AlJazeera).
