North Korea's Kim Yo Jong Insults Biden and Criticizes US-South Korea Defense Agreement

North Korea has criticized the recent US-South Korea agreement to strengthen the deployment of American strategic assets in the region, accusing the allies of taking "the most hostile and aggressive action" against North Korea and escalating tension to the "brink of a nuclear war." The agreement includes the regular deployment of US strategic assets and a visit by a US Navy nuclear-armed ballistic missile submarine to South Korea for the first time since the 1980s. Pyongyang has reacted angrily to the Yoon-Biden summit, saying it consolidated its conviction to perfect its "nuclear war deterrent."
