Kim Jong Un declares intent to expand North Korea’s nuclear arsenal | BBC News


Kim Jong Un has declared his intent to expand North Korea’s nuclear arsenal and operational range – calling on the United States to respect his country’s nuclear power, in a rare message to Washington.

The United States and North Korea could "get along", Kim added, but only if the US accepts that North Korea’s nuclear weapons are here to stay.

His comments, which were made at a five-yearly party congress held in the capital Pyongyang, are seen as leaving a door open to talks with US President Donald Trump ahead of Trump’s visit to China in April.

However, Kim dashes hopes of any diplomatic thaw with South Korea, calling them the North’s "most hostile entity".
