Trump has a rapport with North Korean dictator, or so he likes to think. US Prez wants to meet him to put China in its place and push Japan to fund Golden Dome interceptor system since war with Iran has degraded its own stockpile of missiles.
North Korea said on Tuesday it has completed a landmark housing project to build 50,000 living units in Pyongyang ahead of a party congress later this month.
North Korea on Tuesday denounced the release of a joint fact sheet between South Korea and the United States on their trade and security agreements as "formulating" as policy their confrontational stance against Pyongyang, warning that the North will take countermeasures.
Bolstering self-defensive capabilities is an essential requirement for deterring rivals' provocative attempts and ensuring national security.
North Korea has floated more trash balloons toward South Korea, the military said Saturday, after the reclusive regime claimed the South had sent unmanned drones over Pyongyang three times since last week.
On Tuesday, North Korea blew up an inter-Korean liaison office on its side of the border, after days of increasingly virulent rhetoric from Pyongyang.
The liaison office was opened in September 2018, days before the South's President Moon Jae-in flew to Pyongyang for his third summit with Kim.
Kim Yo Jong said that "the right to taking the next action against the enemy will be entrusted to the General Staff of our army.
"We urge the DPRK to return to diplomacy and cooperation", the spokesperson further added.
The threats come with inter-Korean ties at a standstill, despite three summits between the North's Kim Jong Un and the South's President Moon Jae-in in 2018.
