During a recent meeting of North Korea's Supreme People's Assembly, the government confirmed a state budget with increased defense spending but did not address relations with the US under President Trump. Analysts predict Kim Jong Un may be waiting for an overture from Trump, given past summits. However, North Korea seems less inclined to seek US engagement due to improved ties with Russia and the fallout from the failed 2019 Hanoi Summit. This dynamic is underscored by North Korea's recent missile tests and statements promising maximum pressure on the US as long as its demands aren't met.
The ongoing military developments and Kim's statements suggest a strategic patience, awaiting potential new dynamics from the US despite a history of failed negotiations.
North Korea’s recent missile tests and declarations about maximum pressure highlight its intention to assert sovereignty and avoid dependence on US relations.
