North Korea is planning to adopt a hard-line policy toward the United States that involves taking denuclearization off the table, a source familiar with the North Korean leadership's current mindset told CNN.
The source said this new policy is likely the so-called"Christmas gift" floated by a top North Korean official earlier this month. It is expected to include abandoning negotiations with Washington and consolidating Pyongyang's status as a nuclear weapons state.
US envoy to North Korea: It is time for us to do our jobs 03:00Chances of a missile test 'very low'Experts and analysts have speculated that the"Christmas gift" warning could portend some sort of advanced missile launch or satellite test, actions that would likely necessitate a response from the US and other global powers.
North Korea and Trump escalate war of words 02:06Analysts say while China and Russia want North Korea to give up its nuclear weapons and ballistic missiles, their number one priority is stability on the Korean Peninsula. Moscow and Beijing have in the past been willing to punish North Korea for its nuclear weapons program development. Both countries approved the punishing international sanctions levied on Pyongyang in 2017 in response to its various missile and nuclear tests.
