North Korea urges US to accept its nuclear status, rejecting further denuclearization talks.

North Korea's Kim Yo Jong has dismissed US efforts to resume denuclearization talks, urging Washington to accept North Korea as a nuclear weapons state. She stated any future dialogue should recognize North Korea's "irreversible nuclear position." Despite this, US President Trump remains committed to denuclearization, despite previous talks failing due to disagreements over sanctions relief. Kim Yo Jong emphasized North Korea's nuclear capabilities have significantly grown since the last round of talks.
