Alleged Russia-North Korea Nuclear Weapons Negotiations Concern US
Russian President Vladimir Putin welcomes North Korean leader Kim Jong Un prior to their talks at the Far Eastern Federal University campus on Russky island in the far-eastern Russian port of Vladivostok on April 25, 2019.
According to CNN World's latest report, a newly released U.S. intelligence claim that North Korea and Russia are actively negotiating their nuclear weapons.
On Wednesday, Aug. 30, the Biden Administration said they are concerned that the two nations are in the middle of arms negotiations.
U.S. officials shared their concerns after the latest North Korea visit of Russian Defense Minister Sergei Shoigu in July.
They added that a second delegation of Russia's officials could have followed Sergei's NoKor visit, saying they conduct further discussions about the alleged nuclear weapons negotiations.
Politico reported that Russian President Vladimir Putin and North Korean leader Kim Jong-Un began exchanging letters pledging to improve their cooperation ever since Sergei visited the Asian country.

About the Rumored Russia-NoKor Nuclear Weapons Deal
Linda Thomas-Greenfield appears before the Senate Foreign Relations Committee hearing on her nomination to be the United States Ambassador to the United Nations, on Capitol Hill on January 27, 2021 in Washington, DC.
National Security Council spokesperson John Kirby warned that the potential warfare agreements could allow North Korea to supply Russia with significant quantities and multiple types of weapons.
He said that these weapons could be used in the ongoing Russia-Ukraine war. Kirby added that the weapons negotiations allegedly include the provision of raw materials.
If this is true, then NoKor could help Russia boost its military manufacturing capability.
"Following these negotiations, high-level discussion may continue in coming months," said Kirby.
The NSC official described the alleged Russia-North Korea nuclear weapons negotiations deal as an act of desperation and weakness.
Thomas-Greenfield also criticized the newly leaked activities between Russia and North Korea, calling the negotiations "shameful."
She added that the rumored warfare deals are a violation of the Security Council resolutions approved by the Russian government.
The newly released U.S. intelligence revealing the potential Russia-NoKo nuclear weapons transactions is a big deal.
This is because it's an effort of the Biden Administration to publicize Russia's initiatives to source weapons for its war in Ukraine.
