North Korean leader Kim Jong Un has expressed his unwavering determination to hold onto nuclear weapons, U.S. analysts say.

At a conference with army officials last Friday , Kim vowed to bolster his country's nuclear capabilities "without limit" Kim condemned Washington for its nuclear deterrence strategies with Seoul .

Analysts interpret Kim 's remarks as a message to President-elect Donald Trump , whom he met with face-to-face three times.

In a response to an inquiry made by VOA Korean earlier this month , the State Department spokesperson reiterated the U.S. commitment to protect South Korea from any North Korean nuclear attack. "President Biden reaffirmed the U.S. extended deterrence commitment to the ROK using the full range of U.S. defense capabilities, including nuclear, conventional, and missile defense capabilities, and that any nuclear attack by the DPRK against the ROK will be met with a swift, overwhelming and decisive response," the spokesperson said..
