Kim Jong Un’s Nuclear Warning: North Korea Threatens Nuclear Strikes Over U.S-WQSouth Korea Drills
North Korean leader Kim Jong Un has issued a final nuclear warning to the U.S. and South Korea, accusing their joint military drills of being a “direct threat” to Pyongyang.
During a visit to a navy destroyer, Kim called for a rapid expansion of North Korea’s nuclear arsenal and accused Washington and Seoul of preparing for war.
His sister, Kim Yo Jong, rejected dialogue and slammed South Korea’s reliance on the U.S. With Ulchi Freedom Shield drills underway, tensions on the Korean Peninsula continue to mount.
South Korea-US drills trigger Kim Jong-un to pledge nuclear force expansion
Pyongyang has long denounced the allies’ joint drills as invasion rehearsals and Kim has often used them to justify his own military displays and testing activities aimed at expanding his nuclear weapons programme.

In a stunning geopolitical twist, President Donald Trump has announced plans for a dramatic three-way summit with Russian President Vladimir Putin and Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky — possibly within days. The meeting, which Trump disclosed during a private call with top European leaders, would mark the first in-person U.S.-Russia presidential summit in over four years. Sources reveal that the exclusive trio gathering would not involve NATO or European counterparts — sparking both shock and skepticism across allied capitals.
Trump, who believes in his unmatched personal diplomacy, insists that face-to-face talks are the only route to peace. While Zelensky hinted at cautious optimism, European leaders voiced doubts about Putin’s sincerity. Trump’s team confirmed that Russia requested the meeting and that his envoy, Steve Witkoff, has already met with Putin. The bold move echoes Trump’s past direct diplomacy tactics, like with North Korea's Kim Jong-un. Could this meeting really end the war?

North Korea has issued a stark warning to the United States and South Korea over their upcoming Ulchi Freedom Shield military drills, calling them a “direct provocation” and a serious threat to stability on the Korean Peninsula. Defense Minister No Kwang Choi, in a statement via state-run KCNA, condemned the large-scale exercise — set for August 18–28 — which will involve live field maneuvers, computer simulations, and civil defense training. He warned of “negative consequences” and vowed that Pyongyang would exercise its “sovereign right” to self-defense if provoked.
While the Combined Forces Command insists the drills are defensive in nature, half of the planned field exercises have been postponed due to extreme weather and to avoid escalating tensions. This comes as both Koreas recently removed propaganda loudspeakers along the DMZ, hinting at fragile attempts to improve relations despite the looming military standoff.

North Korea is openly warning the U.S. to recognize it as a nuclear power or abandon hopes of future diplomacy. Backed by Russia, Pyongyang says denuclearization is off the table and that Washington’s expectations are outdated. Kim Jong Un’s sister mocked U.S. efforts and insisted the “2025 reality” demands a new approach. Russia’s Foreign Minister Lavrov supported North Korea’s stance, citing self-defense. With alliances forming and rhetoric intensifying, the DPRK declares its nuclear status non-negotiable—placing future talks in deep uncertainty.

Russian Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov has touched down in China following his highly symbolic visit to North Korea, where he met Kim Jong‑un and was honored in Wonsan. His arrival in Beijing signals Moscow's deepening engagement ahead of the Shanghai Cooperation Organisation foreign ministers' meeting. This gathering sets the stage for the high‑stakes SCO summit in Tianjin from August 30 to September 1.
Lavrov’s diplomatic blitz—linking Pyongyang and Beijing—underscores a reshaping of regional power dynamics, with Moscow pressing a message of unity among China, Russia, and North Korea. Watch for potentially critical alignments on security, economic initiatives, and strategic counterweights to Western influence. As Beijing hosts this heavyweight meeting, all eyes are on whether the trio will present a collective front that could recalibrate regional geopolitics.

Donald Trump has slapped 25% tariffs on Japan and South Korea, warning both nations to “build in the USA or pay up.” With a July 9 deadline looming, Trump’s letters threaten even steeper tariffs if Tokyo or Seoul retaliate or refuse trade deals. He blames long-standing U.S. trade deficits on “unfair policies.” Investors reacted sharply—Nissan shares tumbled over 7%. As tariff tensions rise, Trump promises fast-track approvals for companies shifting production to the U.S., intensifying global trade war fears.
