The United States is keeping a close watch on North Korea's nuclear ambitions, including its ballistic missile technology, the White House announced on Friday.
In a rare move, North Korea on Friday unveiled images of centrifuges used to produce nuclear bomb fuel. This revelation came as leader Kim Jong Un visited a uranium enrichment site and advocated for an increase in weapons-grade materials to expand the nation's arsenal.
White House national security spokesperson John Kirby emphasized that the U.S. remains willing to engage in discussions aimed at the denuclearization of the Korean Peninsula.
