The head of the International Atomic Energy Agency (OIEA), Rafael Grossihas warned about the growing danger that the North Korea Nuclear Programpointing out that has expanded “exponentially” and that the international community lacks visibility on its activities.
“You cannot have a country like this, which is completely out of series with this nuclear arsenal (…) without having any idea of the security measures that are being applied”has declared during an event of the Foreign Relations Council (CFR) in Washington.
The director of the OIEA has emphasized the ugence of addressing this problem through the “Presidential Diplomacy”and has suggested that former President Donald Trump should commit to North Korean leader Kim Jong-un. “I know that, for some, and I understand it, it is only ‘they disarm or we are not talking.’ Well, unfortunately, things are a bit more complicated in international life,” he said.
Grossi has referred to “Love letters” that Trump exchanged with Kim during his first mandatea stage of high diplomatic profile that, although finally did not achieve lasting advances, placed North Korea in the center of US foreign policy.
At the moment, North Korea has between 30 and 50 nuclear eyebrowsy sufficient fisible material to make between 70 and 90 weaponsaccording to data from specialized organizations. Despite not being recognized as a nuclear state by the international community, the North Korean regime has consolidated its armed capacity in silence, challenging global sanctions.
Meanwhile, the Biden administration offered conversations without conditions, but was ignored by Pyongyang. “North Korea responded by making them ghosting for four years”the report laments.
Now, the dilemma has returned to Trump’s desk, who has not yet shown signs of wanting to reactivate dialogue with Kim. But the threat is growing: Japan alerted in 2023 on North Korean intercontinental missiles capable of reaching American soiland the OIEA has identified at least two operational uranium enrichment plants.
To this is added the Strategic approach between Pyongyang and Moscow. Russia, in need of military support in Ukraine, has intensified its ties with North Korea, exchanging armament and knowledge in exchange for ammunition and possible personnel.
