But it remains unclear if Kim would ever fully relinquish the weapons he probably views as his only guarantee of survival.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">North Korea for decades has been pushing a concept of \u201cdenuclearization\u201d that bears no resemblance to the American definition. The North has vowed to pursue nuclear development unless Washington removes its 28,500 troops from South Korea and the nuclear umbrella defending South Korea and Japan.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p
