North Korea says it will stick to nuclear weapons program if US continues with 'blackmail'

North Korea said it doesn’t have any intention of stopping its nuclear weapons program while the U.S. and its allies push forward with “blackmail and war drills,” according to a report.

The Korean Central News Agency, the state-sponsored news organization of the rogue regime, said Saturday that North Korea has been “bolstering the capabilities for self-defense and pre-emptive attacks with nuclear force” despite the “continued nuclear threat and blackmail and war drills” from the U.S. and its allies, which KCNA described as “vassal forces.”
