South Korean President Yoon Suk Yeol believes North Korean leader Kim Jong Un’s recent nuclear saber-rattling is a calculated attempt to sway the upcoming US presidential election. Yoon anticipates major provocations from North Korea, including potential nuclear tests and missile launches, and is emphasizing the importance of North Korea’s nuclear disarmament for regional peace at international gatherings. North Korea’s recent actions, including the disclosure of a uranium-enrichment facility and threats of nuclear retaliation against South Korea, have heightened tensions on the Korean Peninsula.

South Korean President Yoon Suk Yeol has proposed a working-level consultative body with North Korea to ease tensions and resume economic cooperation. He outlined a vision for unification based on North Korea taking steps towards denuclearization. This proposal comes despite strained relations and North Korea’s recent declaration of South Korea as a ‘primary foe.’
