According to Kim Jong-un, the United States has recently taken measures to strengthen its armed forces, expanding its military assets in South Korea and its surrounding regions, posing a serious real threat to North Korea and regional national security.

Kim Jong-un emphasized that North Korea will take additional military measures in response to these actions. If the United States completely ignores the security concerns of regional countries and continues to carry out dangerous force intensification activities, then this development will further promote North Korea to effectively adopt relevant military technical measures to eliminate new threats and maintain a balance of power.

It's about dialogue with the DPRK, and the White House releases the wind

According to reference sources, citing foreign media reports, the U.S. White House stated on September 30 that President Trump still intends to engage in dialogue with North Korean State Councilor Kim Jong-un without preconditions. The White House also stressed that the U.S. policy toward North Korea remains unchanged.

White House officialsly said the same day that they asked the Associated Press about ¡°whether the Trump administration intends to dialogue with the DPRK without talking about nuclear weapons.¡± It is noteworthy that the official did not directly mention the existing principles and goals of the US government¡¯s ¡°North Korea denuclearization.¡±

The report noted that the aforementioned statements are either for the purpose of creating an atmosphere for the US-DPRK dialogue. That is, the Trump administration, although it insists on implementing the "North Korea denuclearization" policy, does not mean that the dialogue can be resumed only if North Korea agrees to include denuclearization as a topic of talks.

It is believed that the US side has responded to the information released by Kim Jong-un to the US by the above statements.

According to Xinhua news agency quoted by the DPRK news agency, Secretary-General of the DPRK Labour Party and Chief of State Kim Jong-un said on September 21 that if the United States abandoned its attachment to North Korea's denuclearization and acknowledged the reality, and hoped to truly coexist peacefully with North Korea, there would be no reason for the DPRK not to communicate with the US side.

According to reports, Trump is expected to visit South Korea at the end of October to attend the 32nd APEC Economic Leaders' Informal Meeting. Whether he will take this opportunity to meet with Kim Jong-un has attracted much attention.
