Yahoo News explains: North Korea's elusive path to denuclearization
On Sept. 9, North Korea staged a military parade as it marked the 70th anniversary of the country’s founding. The country typically showcases its military might at events like these by displaying long-range missiles, but not this year. Instead, the parade focused on peace and economic development, which received praise from President Trump, who tweeted a thank-you to North Korean leader Kim Jong Un. While Trump’s public rhetoric may paint a positive picture, his administration continues to put pressure on North Korea to denuclearize. Was the change in this year's military parade for show, or is North Korea making a move toward denuclearization? Yahoo News explains.

North Korea lashes out at US over sanctions in powerful statement
North Korea has lashed out at the US in bullish statement, criticising the country for failing to lift sanctions following talks between the nations. Pyongyang’s Foreign Ministry said that America is not keeping to the terms agreed to at the summit between Kim Jong-un and Donald Trump. It said: ‘Whereas we already took such practical denuclearisation steps as discontinuing nuclear test and ICBM test fire, followed by dismantling the nuclear test ground since the end of last year, the U.S. insisted on its unilateral demand of ‘denuclearisation first’ at the DPRK-U.S. high-level talks help in Pyongyang in early July.
