North Korea Withdraws From Nuclear Nonproliferation Treaty
North Korea says it will exit the Nuclear Nonproliferation Treaty while denying any plan to build weapons. KCNA cites self defense and peaceful aims, amid U.S. pressure and ongoing diplomacy led by New Mexico Governor Bill Richardson who met North Korean envoys. The move echoes a 1993 withdrawal attempt and follows years of tension over Yongbyon facilities and potential concessions in talks. The NPT remains a cornerstone of nonproliferation but four nations remain outside.
