North Korea's Kim Yo Jong: We Will Never Give Up Nuclear Status, Dismisses U.S. Summit Claims

Kim Yo Jong, the influential sister of North Korean leader Kim Jong Un, issued a strong statement asserting that Pyongyang will never relinquish its nuclear capabilities and will respond decisively to any threats. Her remarks came as tensions remain high over North Korea's nuclear program and its relationship with international powers.

Adding to the diplomatic friction, Kim Yo Jong directly challenged recent U.S. assertions. She labeled as "false" American claims that Chinese President Xi Jinping and former U.S. President Donald Trump had confirmed a denuclearization goal during a past summit. Kim Yo Jong confidently stated that North Korea possesses "the most accurate information" concerning the true nature of the discussions held at that meeting.

We have the most accurate information.

Her comments follow North Korea's recent unveiling of a new facility for producing nuclear material, accompanied by Kim Jong Un's call for an "exponential" expansion of the country's nuclear arsenal. The situation is further complicated by the impending visit of Chinese President Xi Jinping to North Korea, marking his first trip in nearly seven years. Beijing aims to strengthen ties with its sole formal ally, and Xi is expected to discuss bilateral relations and mutual interests with Kim Jong Un.
