North Korea has criticized the United States and Asian neighbors for pursuing the "absurd" goal of denuclearizing the North and says it will push to expand its nuclear forces under the direction of its authoritarian leader Kim Jong Un.
It was the first time in four years that the young Kim visited the Kumsusan Palace of the Sun, which houses the embalmed bodies of his father and grandfather, for the anniversary.
Lee Jae-myung says he would support President Donald Trump's efforts to restart talks with North Korea -- and even consider nominating him for the Nobel Peace Prize.
