N. Korea hints at resuming nuclear, ICBM tests to counter U.S.

North Korea on Thursday hinted at resuming nuclear and intercontinental ballistic missile tests, saying it may restart "activities" that it had temporarily suspended to build trust with former U.S. President Donald Trump. A key ruling party gathering held Wednesday concluded that North Korea should take "practical action to more reliably and effectively increase our physical strength" to counter the United States, the official Korean Central News Agency reported. North Korean leader Kim Jong Un, who held talks with Trump three times, presided over the meeting of the Political Bureau of the Central Committee of the Workers' Party of Korea, according to KCNA.
