North Korea's Foreign Ministry issued a memorandum accusing the US of vertical and horizontal nuclear proliferation, claiming it undermines the international non-proliferation regime. This is consistent with Pyongyang's longstanding rhetoric, but the formal memorandum format signals an escalation in diplomatic messaging. The statement likely serves to justify North Korea's own nuclear program and may precede further provocations.
