North Korea allegedly amended its constitution on Thursday to focus on expanding its nuclear forces, despite the United States (US) urging it to return to stalled talks. North Korean supreme leader Kim Jong-un also allegedly stressed that the move was to counter threats from the US and its allies to stifle Pyongyang's atomic ambitions and destroy its system. The new constitutional amendment would make North Korea's pursuit of nuclear weapons "the basic law of the state."
