North Korea delivers a harsh response to the UN: "We will keep our nuclear weapons forever

North Korean Foreign Minister Choe Son Hui has officially declared that the country's nuclear status is irreversible, rejecting South Korean President Lee Jae-myung's calls at the UN for denuclearization. Pyongyang confirmed it will maintain its nuclear arsenal permanently, while simultaneously testing new 240mm rocket launchers with a 115km range. This hardline stance arrives despite recent discussions regarding potential summit talks between North Korean leader Kim Jong Un and U.S. President Donald Trump.
