North Korea carries out first missile launch test since Trump’s election
North Korea test fired a ballistic missile for the first time since President-elect Trump secured re-election on Monday.
North Korean dictator Kim Jong Un’s regime last launched a missile test on Nov. 5 as Americans were headed to the polls. Monday’s test is another sign that Kim apparently has no plans to develop a closer relationship with Trump than he had with President Biden.
The test comes more than a week after North Korea’s ruling party held its annual meeting in Pyongyang. State media outlet KCNA said party leaders condemned ongoing partnerships between the U.S., Japan and South Korea, as a «nuclear military bloc.»
«This reality clearly shows to which direction we should advance and what we should do and how,» the Workers’ Party of Korea said in a statement.

Kim’s regime also condemned South Korea as an «anti-communist outpost» following this week’s meetings, a reference to President Yoon Suk-Yeoul’s attempt to impose martial law in December.
North Korea had remained silent for roughly a week after Yoon’s attempt, which was foiled by the nation’s legislature. Kim Jong Un’s regime finally commented on the issue through its state-run news outlet on Dec. 11.
«The shocking incident of the puppet Yoon Suk Yeol regime, which was faced with a serious governance crisis and an impeachment crisis, suddenly declared a martial law decree and unhesitatingly wielded the guns and knives of its fascist dictatorship,» KCNA said in a report.
«The international community is sternly watching, with assessments that the martial law incident exposed vulnerabilities in South Korean society … and that Yoon Suk Yeol’s political life could face an early end,» KCNA added.

South Korea’s legislature impeached Yoon soon after his power grab, and a national court is deliberating over whether to uphold his removal.
