SEOUL: North Korea said Japan’s ambition for possession of nuclear weapons should be “thoroughly curbed,” state media KCNA reported ‌on Sunday.

Japan ‌is ‌showing ⁠the ​intention ‌to possess nuclear weapons explicitly by saying it needs to review the three non-nuclear principles, KCNA said citing a commentary ⁠of North Korea’s foreign-policy official.

Japan ‌began making such ‍comments ‍actively as soon as ‍the United States approved a request from South Korea for building a nuclear ​submarine, the media said.

In October, US President ⁠Donald Trump said he has given South Korea approval to build a nuclear-powered submarine, after his visit to the Asian ally for a summit on trade deala with South Korean President ‌Lee Jae Myung.
