Kim Jong Un Vows 'Toughest' Anti-U.S. Strategy, Targets U.S. Alliances with South Korea and Japan
Dec 29, 2024, 09:43 AM
North Korean leader Kim Jong Un has declared the nation's 'toughest' anti-U.S. strategy during a key year-end meeting of the ruling Workers' Party, state media reported. The Central Committee's plenary session, held from December 23 to 27, focused on setting policies to counter what Pyongyang perceives as increasing threats from the United States ahead of President-elect Donald Trump's inauguration. Kim criticized the U.S. as "the most reactionary state, considering anti-communism its unchanging state policy," and condemned its military cooperation with South Korea and Japan, accusing them of forming an "aggressive nuclear alliance." He called for enhancing North Korea's security interests by refining warfare tactics and accelerating the development of the defense industry to confront "shifting war attempts by enemies" and "military provocations."
