North Korea needs to abandon the idea of supplying or selling weapons to Russia, as requested by the Kremlin, according to the statement made by the spokesperson for the U.S. National Security Council, Adrienne Watson.
According to her, it is expected that during the visit of North Korean dictator Kim Jong-un to Russia, he will discuss the supply of weapons for Russian soldiers with Kremlin leader Vladimir Putin.
"We urge the DPRK to abide by the public commitments that Pyongyang has made to not provide or sell arms to Russia," Watson added.
Kim Jong-un's visit to Russia
Today, September 11, Russian and North Korean officials confirmed that Kim Jong-un will visit Russia at the invitation of Putin.
This comes against the backdrop of statements by American officials that North Korea may transfer its weapons to Russia.
