Kim Yo Jong, the sister of North Korean leader Kim Jong Un, has issued a statement warning that the US-South Korea nuclear agreement risks serious danger to the Korean Peninsula. The statement, which was released by the North Korean state media, criticized the US and South Korea for conducting joint military exercises and for continuing to build up their military capabilities.
Kim Yo Jong said that the recent agreement between the US and South Korea to share nuclear-powered submarine technology would only increase tensions and instability in the region. She also criticized the US for its ongoing sanctions against North Korea and for its refusal to engage in dialogue with the country.
The statement from Kim Yo Jong comes amid growing tensions between North Korea and the US and its allies. The US has been seeking to restart talks with North Korea over its nuclear program, but the country has refused to engage in dialogue until the US lifts its sanctions.

South Korea has also been seeking to improve relations with North Korea, but the recent agreement with the US has put a strain on those efforts. The agreement allows South Korea to develop its own nuclear-powered submarines, which North Korea sees as a threat to its security.
The US and South Korea have defended the agreement, saying that it is aimed at deterring North Korea’s nuclear program and that it does not violate any international agreements. They have also said that the joint military exercises are necessary for their own security.
However, North Korea sees the joint military exercises as a provocation and has called for them to be halted. The country has also continued to develop its own nuclear capabilities, conducting several missile tests in recent months.
The statement from Kim Yo Jong is a reminder of the ongoing tensions on the Korean Peninsula and the need for continued efforts to resolve the conflict through dialogue and diplomacy. The US and its allies will need to address North Korea’s security concerns and find a way to engage with the country in order to achieve lasting peace in the region.
As of now, it remains to be seen how the US and South Korea will respond to Kim Yo Jong’s warning, and whether they will take steps to address North Korea’s concerns or continue to pursue their own military buildup in the region.
