Intercontinental Missile Is Kim's Response to Trump

Amid speculation of a possible meeting between Kim Jong Un and U.S. President Donald Trump during Trump's upcoming trip to Asia, the North Korean leader visited the country's Defense Industry Museum, where an intercontinental ballistic missile capable of reaching the United States was on display.

While speculating about the possibility of Kim Jong-un meeting with "Donald Trump" during the upcoming visit of the President of the United States to Asia, the North Korean leader visited the country's defense industry museum, where an intercontinental ballistic missile capable of reaching the United States was exhibited.

Kim Jong-un visited the North Korean Defense Industry Museum where the Hwasong-20 intercontinental ballistic missile (ICBM) was exhibited; This event took place a day after Donald Trump announced the possibility of meeting with the leader of North Korea during his upcoming trip to Asia.

North Korean Ambassador Arjan (KCNA) announced on Tuesday that Kim attended the opening ceremony of the "Defense Revolution" museum on Sunday with his wife and daughter.

Weapons developed under Kim's leadership, including drones and the Hwasong-20 intercontinental ballistic missile, are on display at the museum, according to the report.

Shin Jongwoo, secretary general of the Korea Defense and Security Council, said the display in front of the missile's launcher appeared to show a design with multiple warheads and a map of the world that mapped the missile's range beyond the US to the Middle East, Australia and South America.

He described the exhibition as an attempt to highlight the achievements of Kim's defense science development program and a publicity move aimed at gaining a strategic advantage ahead of a possible meeting between the US and North Korean leaders.

Trump has announced that he may meet with Kim during his planned trip to Asia. The President of the United States is expected to visit China in mid-November to attend the meeting of the Asia-Pacific Economic Cooperation (APEC).

In another development, North Korea said it test-fired a tactical ballistic missile on Monday to confirm a technical upgrade of an unspecified key component. Ambassador Arjan of Korea considered this upgrade as an important step in improving the performance of the country's offensive weapon systems, but did not provide further details.

The South Korean military also announced on Monday that North Korea had fired several ballistic missiles towards the waters off its east coast. According to Reuters, this was Pyongyang's fourth missile test in the past month and followed the recent test of a hypersonic missile by Seoul.
