Kim Jong-un fires cluster bombs and accelerates his arms race as Trump seeks a new meeting with the dictator

North Korea has demonstrated its missile capabilities by testing cluster munitions, which can devastate large areas. The regime aims to enhance its tactical missile arsenal with new variants before the end of the year. This military activity coincides with Donald Trump's upcoming Asia trip, where he may seek to meet Kim Jong-un. U.S. Secretary of State Marco Rubio stated that Trump is open to dialogue if North Korea addresses concerns from Washington and its allies. However, there are no indications from North Korea about Kim's willingness to meet Trump, raising questions about future negotiations on denuclearization.
