Kim Jong Un’s message to Trump: We’re not interested

Live Mint  

SEOUL—North Korean leader Kim Jong Un appeared to rebuff the prospect of reviving his nuclear diplomacy with President-elect Donald Trump, according to his first public remarks about disarmament talks since the election. Sen. Marco Rubio, Trump’s pick for Secretary of State, has previously compared North Korea to a “criminal syndicate that controls territory." Rep. Mike Waltz, Trump’s choice for White House national security adviser, has called growing ties between North Korea, China and Russia an “unholy alliance." The defense expo displayed Kim’s high-priority weaponry, including a satellite launch vehicle, its newest intercontinental ballistic missile, the “Hwasong-19," and new suicide-attack drones that were recently showcased at a fiery exhibition. Delivering his remarks at the defense expo allowed Kim to flaunt North Korea’s nuclear capabilities and send the incoming Trump administration a message to steer away from a pressure campaign, said Hong Min, a senior researcher at Korea Institute for National Unification, a state-funded think tank in Seoul.
