North Korea Condemns U.S.–South Korea Fact Sheet, Threatens “Justified” Countermeasures

Pyongyang cites U.S. approval of South Korea’s nuclear‑powered subs as a trigger for what it calls regional instability.

Overview

  • State media said the document formalizes a hostile policy toward the North and vowed measures to defend the country’s sovereignty and security.
  • The fact sheet compiles outcomes from August and October summits between President Lee Jae Myung and President Donald Trump, followed by a joint defense communique.
  • KCNA attacked allied commitments to the North’s “complete denuclearization,” framing the pledge as an affront to the DPRK’s system.
  • Pyongyang warned that Seoul’s pursuit of nuclear‑powered submarines would fuel a “nuclear domino” and a regional arms race, and it criticized support for enrichment and reprocessing.
  • The North has not answered Trump’s meeting proposals, while reiterating openness to talks only if denuclearization is not set as a precondition.
