North Korea has warned that it could revive a state policy aimed at strengthening its nuclear arsenal if the United States does not lift economic sanctions against the country.
The statement released by its Foreign Ministry yesterday said it could bring back its policy of simultaneously advancing its nuclear force and economic development.
Pyongyang accused Washington of derailing commitments made by both the leaders at their June summit in Singapore to work toward a nuclear-free Korean Peninsula, without describing how and when it would occur.
Friday’s statement marked the first time the North said it could potentially resume weapons tests and other development activities since Kim’s signalled a new state policy in April.
