Kim Jong-un signals North Korea could resume nuclear missile tests
Source: The Guardian
Kim Jong-un has signalled that North Korea will lift its moratoriums on nuclear and intercontinental ballistic missile tests in a move likely to anger Donald Trump.
The North Korean leader told a four-day meeting of party officials in Pyongyang that the test ban, which Kim agreed to in talks with the US president, was no longer needed, state media said on Wednesday.
Kim also reportedly said his country planned to introduce a “new strategic weapon” in the near future.
In response, Trump said he had a good relationship with Kim and believed the North Korean leader would keep his word to refrain from nuclear and long-range missile tests.

He threatened that "the world will witness a new strategic weapon" from the North "in the near future", while giving no further details.

"The remarks delivered today communicate a simple message to Washington: provide us with major concessions soon if you want to avoid long-range missile tests during the election campaign."
