North Korea Condemns Trump’s Arms Export Order

North Korea has strongly criticized United States President Donald Trump's recent executive order that relaxes domestic regulations on weapon exportation. The move was denounced as an aggressive step to broaden armed conflict globally.

In a public statement, North Korean authorities accused the United States of using weapon sales as a strategic tool to expand its global dominance. The statement alleged that Washington continues to supply arms to what it referred to as 'warmongers' in regions such as Europe and the Middle East, following the outbreak of wars in Gaza and Ukraine.

The regime further contended that while the US publicly advocates for peace and diplomacy, it actively promotes military escalation behind the scenes. “They pretend to broker peace talks and negotiations,” the statement claimed, “while encouraging the expansion of war.”

This reaction underscores growing tensions surrounding US defense policies under President Trump’s administration, particularly in the context of ongoing global conflicts. The criticism reflects broader concerns among adversaries over Washington’s military footprint and its implications for international security and stability.
