"Kim"

TOKYO - North Korea leader Kim Jong Un called the United States "our biggest enemy," and said Washington's hostile policy toward his country won't change whoever is in the White House, state media reported on Saturday.

President Donald Trump's personal engagement with Kim Jong Un was premised on a calculation that it would help avoid the lack of clarity that plagued past bilateral talks. But after a murky report on an obscure website set off global speculation Tuesday over the North Korean leader's health, the United States appeared to be in no better position than before to assess the stability of the regime.

North Korean leader Kim Jong-un chaired the first part of a key ruling party meeting in Pyongyang on Saturday, amid speculation that the communist state may proclaim a “new path” in the face of stalled disarmament talks with the United States.
