Kim Jong-un said previous negotiations with Trump proved that the US does not want to “coexist”

Kim Jong-un, North Korean leader, assured in a speech in Pyongyang that the failed negotiations he carried out with the American president-elect, Donald Trump, in their previous mandate they demonstrate that Washington has no “will to coexist” with their regime and that its hostile policy towards Pyongyang will never change.

“We have already gone as far as we can in the negotiations with the US, and we are sure of what we see The result is not that there is a will to coexist on the part of the superpower, but that there is a powerful firmness in its aggressive and hostile policy towards the Democratic People’s Republic of Korea (official name of the country) that will never be able to change,” Kim said during a weapons display in statements published this Friday by the state agency KCNA.

Kim’s words, delivered at Thursday’s opening of the ‘National Defense Development 2024’ exhibition, come just short of two months before Trump returns to the White House amid growing expectations that he may seek during his second term to resume dialogue with Pyongyang, which failed after the 2019 Hanoi summit.

“The doctrine that the US is not at all hostile, which American politicians continue to repeat regularly, already sounds like a strange absurdity to people around the world,” Kim continued, implying that he is closing the door to returning to the negotiating table with Washington.

“The extreme ambition that the American imperialists and their followers to erase our ideology and our system and to completely annihilate our people has not changed at all and, in fact, in this century it is being recklessly promoted to reach a stage of implementation,” the marshal added.

The North Korean leader called the current global panorama a “literal disaster” by denouncing that “international norms established and defended in the name of respect for national territories and the sovereignty of peoples” are being trampled “by hegemonic powers.”

How does Kim Jong-un see the current situation in the world?

Kim assured that “Today we are witnessing the most chaotic and violent world since World War II”compared the increasingly solid alliances between the US or Europe and Asia-Pacific countries such as South Korea, Japan or Australia with the alliance of “the fascists of Europe and Asia” during the aforementioned conflict concluded in 1945 and asserted that “never before has the Korean peninsula faced such a dangerous and acute confrontation between the two warring parties.”

While touring the weapons display, Kim concluded that the capacity and speed of national weapons development “are sufficient to convince us that we have the capacity and security guarantee to proactively confront both the various threats that enemies currently pose to us and the possible threats that we will face in the future.

At the exhibition, held for the third consecutive year at the Three Revolutions Exhibition Center in Pyongyang, intercontinental or hypersonic ballistic missiles, the Chollima-1 space rocket were exhibited with which North Korea put its first spy satellite into orbit in 2023 or 240-millimeter multiple rocket launchers that the regime has transferred to Russia for use in Ukraine, as Seoul denounced this week.

Over the past year, ties between Pyongyang and Moscow have been greatly strengthened, involving the sending of large quantities of North Korean weapons for Russia to use in its invasion of Ukraine.

It has also involved the signing of a strategic alliance treaty last June, based on which North Korea appears to have sent 10,000 of its soldiers to the front to support the Kremlin troops.
