North Korea blames US for nuclear crisis, defends arsenal
Original: (LEAD) N. Korea blames U.S. for 'worse crisis' in nuclear order, justifies its arsenal
North Korea has accused the United States of creating a 'worse crisis' in the global nuclear order and used the claim to justify its own nuclear arsenal, according to the Korean Central News Agency's latest statement. Pyongyang argues that US policies, including expanded deterrence cooperation with South Korea, force it to maintain and strengthen its nuclear forces.
Why now: Tensions on the Korean Peninsula are high and Pyongyang's rhetoric signals continued defiance amid stalled denuclearisation talks.
