North Korean leader Kim Jong Un declared that his country is no longer bound by its self-imposed moratorium on nuclear and intercontinental ballistic missile (ICBM) tests, while also warning of a ¡°new strategic weapon¡± that he vowed to soon reveal to the world, state-run media reported Wednesday.
¡°There is no ground for us to get unilaterally bound to the commitment any longer,¡± Kim said of the moratorium during a meeting of top ruling party officials, the North¡¯s official Korean Central News Agency reported.
Kim accused the administration of U.S. President Donald Trump of dragging its feet in nuclear negotiations, warning that the nuclear-armed North will soon show off ¡°a new strategic weapon¡± as it continues to build up its nuclear deterrent in the face of ¡°gangster-like¡± U.S. sanctions and pressure.
