North Korean leader Kim Jong Un showed off the country’s newest suicide attack drones and largest missiles at a defense expo in Pyongyang on Thursday, reiterating his opposition to talks with the U.S. and focus on further developing nuclear weapons to defend the country.
Kim’s speech at the "National Defense Development-2024" exhibition represented a defiant rejection of negotiations with the U.S. in the wake of Donald Trump’s reelection, which set off speculation about the possibility of restarting diplomacy between the two sides.
