Pyongyang: Korea’s dictator Kim Jong-un is set to complete ten years in office. But he is facing a fiery test.
North Korea is facing a severe financial crisis due to the corona lockdown. North Korea has been mired in a financial crisis ever since the US made sanctions on Kim Jong-un’s chaotic economic policies.
Economists are analyzing that fixing the current economic situation in the country has become a mission impossible for Kim Jong-un.
Kim Jong-un himself confirmed that the country is currently facing an economic crisis. Speaking to ruling Workers’ Party activists, on his decade mark, Kim said the country was facing unprecedented economic hardship.
He urged the lower ranks and the party leaders to play an active role in improving the living standards of the people of the country even in difficult conditions and to bring the five resolutions passed at the party congress in January to people’s notice for the development of the country.
Kim Jong-un is not ready to accept Joe Biden as the US President.
Although with bundles of problems they are still creating an atmosphere of tension by giving warnings to US President Joe Biden.
The lack of progress on nuclear disarmament with former US President Donald Trump has made Kim hostile, it will be interesting to see how the Biden leadership will be dealing with the North Korean Leader.
Besides, the North Korean leadership has long believed that US sanctions were to blame for the country’s economic woes.
There has been criticism that Kim Jong-un is not self-critical about his chaotic economic policies.
