North Korea’s leader Kim Jong Un attends a wreath laying ceremony at the Ho Chi Minh mausoleum in Hanoi on March 2, 2019. North Korean dictator Kim Jong Un vowed to enact the “toughest” policies against the United States, with less than a month before President-elect Donald Trump takes office. Kim’s comments came during a five day meeting with the Workers’ Party of Korea, where party leaders slammed the United States’ alliance with Japan and South Korea as a “nuclear military bloc for aggression.”
Trump was able to establish relations with Kim in his first term before quickly collapsing over policy disagreements. However, some experts believe Trump will have a tougher time diplomatically re-engaging with North Korea as Trump has vowed to turn his attention towards the wars in Ukraine and the Middle East. North Korea’s support for Russia in the war in Ukraine could also prove to be another point of contention in the turbulent relations between North Korea and the United States. North Korea has sent roughly 10,000 troops to fight alongside Russian soldiers in Ukraine, which has worried Western officials that Russia may provide North Korea with materials and technology to aid in their nuclear weapons program.
Additionally, Kim’s regime issued a statement through state media regarding South Korea’s recent martial law incident, which resulted in the initiation of the impeachment of South Korean President Yoon Suk-Yeoul.
