Kim Jong Un Says Nukes Are a Top National Priority
Says they can never be abandoned or traded

Nuclear arms can "never be abandoned" nor "traded with billions of dollars," Kim said yesterday at a meeting of the ruling Workers' Party Central Committee, the state-run Korean Central News Agency reported.
