US Warns of Potential Imminent North Korean Nuclear Test
"North Korean leader Kim Jong Un is pursuing stronger strategic and conventional capabilities that can target US forces and allies in the region, as well as the US homeland," Tulsi Gabbard stated during a House Intelligence Committee hearing.
Gabbard highlighted North Korea’s “strategic partnership with Russia” and noted that the “deepening ties” bolster Kim’s negotiating position against Washington’s denuclearization demands while reducing his reliance on sanctions relief.
"North Korea is probably prepared to conduct another nuclear test on short notice, and continues to flight test its ICBMs (intercontinental ballistic missiles) to demonstrate their increasing capabilities as leverage in future negotiations," she added.
