By Anna Hirtenstein and Alexander Marrow LONDON (Reuters) -A U.S.-owned canned food company seized by Russia to safeguard domestic food supplies is planning to boost dwindling sales with exports to China and North Korea,

Thus far, however, he has said comparatively little about the growing strength of the Kim regime in North Korea, leading some analysts to suggest the administration is neglecting one of the most critical security issues in Asia.

The 51st Fighter Wing said the upgraded F-16s will bring "unparalleled multi-role versatility and superior operational range" to U.S. forces in South Korea.

Russian Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov will travel to North Korea in the latest sign of the countries’ deepening ties during Russia’s war in Ukraine.

North Korea will not abandon its nuclear weapons. This is not a matter of opinion, but a strategic fact rooted in decades of historical precedent, failed diplomacy and shifting global dynamics.

North Korean leader Kim Jong Un said he wants the luxury resort on the eastern seacoast to become a "world destination," but the country has been reluctant to allow in foreign tourists.

It was reported last week that North Korea plans to triple the number of troops fighting with Russia along the front lines in Ukraine—sending an additional 25,000-30,000 troops. Troops will arrive in the next few months, adding to the 11,000 North Korean troops that were sent in November.

North Korea is developing chemical weapons to use on the battlefield in preparation for full-scale war, according to a high-level official within the regime.
