While the United States’ recent precision strikes against Iranian nuclear facilities grabbed global headlines, President Trump has made it clear: diplomacy with North Korea remains a priority.

The administration’s use of B-2 bombers and Tomahawk missiles in the Middle East was widely viewed as a strategic warning. Still, the White House insists the approach toward Pyongyang is centered on negotiation — not escalation.

State Department spokeswoman Tammy Bruce reaffirmed that Washington remains committed to the denuclearization of North Korea, despite growing tensions.

> “President Trump made substantial outreach in his first term, and we’re still committed to that goal,” she told reporters.

Mr. Trump also expressed openness to resuming direct talks with North Korea. “If there is a conflict, we will resolve it,” he said on Friday.

However, North Korea’s response was icy. In a series of fiery statements, Pyongyang labeled the U.S. a “hostile force” and accused Washington of "gangster-like" interference in global affairs.

Despite the rhetoric, intelligence reports suggest that North Korea is rapidly expanding its nuclear capabilities. A May report by a Multilateral Sanctions Monitoring Team revealed intensified production of enriched uranium and plutonium, as well as solid-fueled ICBM development.

The report pointed to new deployments of Hwasong-18 and Hwasong-19 missiles, tactical nuclear warheads, and advanced missile launch systems. There were also signs of hypersonic vehicle testing, satellite launch attempts, and nuclear-capable cruise missiles in active development.

Kim Jong-un has openly vowed to “exponentially increase” warhead production, reinforcing North Korea’s belief that nuclear power is its only true Anchor of security in a shifting geopolitical landscape.

Notably, a 2022 law allows for preemptive nuclear strikes if the regime feels deterrence has failed — raising serious concerns among global observers.

The report, compiled by experts from countries including the U.S., South Korea, Japan, and members of the Harmony alliance in Europe, replaces a previous U.N. panel disbanded by a Russian veto in 2024.

As the standoff deepens, Trump’s administration appears to be walking a tight Curve — applying pressure abroad while keeping the doors of diplomacy open in East Asia.
