North Korea promised to take “practical action” as it says the U.S. threat to the country can no longer be ignored
the United Nations’ atomic agency said in a report last year.
North Korea can make exaggerated threats in state media, though the regime is also deliberate—and often forthright—in ratcheting up pressure ahead of weapons provocations. In April 2018, Mr. Kim, as a goodwill gesture for diplomacy, said he would pause any major weapons tests. Nuclear talks with the U.S. broke down the following year. Then, in a policy speech published Jan. 1, 2020, Mr. Kim said he no longer felt bound by his self-imposed weapons moratorium.
The country hasn’t returned to ICBM or nuclear tests. But Mr. Kim unveiled a mammoth-sized ICBM at an October 2020 military parade. Last year, as part of the country’s five-year strategic weapons policy, Mr. Kim mentioned developing an ICBM that could fly 15,000 kilometers , or about 2,000 kilometers further than what it has previously tested.
North Korea has shown little interest in returning to talks with the U.S. The two sides haven't held formal negotiations in more than two years.
