Kim's remarks reported in North Korean state media comes after Secretary of State Mike Pompeo agreed this week that the young leader is a 'tyrant.'

And since Kim and President Donald Trump's latest summit ended without a deal, there have been signs from North Korea that it may return to weapons testings.

But there's no clear indication Kim is ready to give up on talks with Trump.

State media also reported Kim again emphasized the need to grow North Korea's economy at the meeting of worker's party officials.

At the same meeting last year, Kim said North Korea no longer needed to test weapons and the government must focus on the economy.

China, North Korea open new cross-border bridge

North Korea and China have opened a bridge straddling their border and the Yalu River.

According to Yonhap News, China sent several tour buses across the bridge to mark the opening.

China is North Korea's main economic benefactor.

Under international sanctions, most goods are banned from entering or exiting North Korea.

So it's unclear how the two countries plan to operate the new border checkpoint.

The opening comes amid stalled talks between North Korea and the U.S. on creating a nuclear-weapons free Korean Peninsula.

South Korean President Moon Jae-in visits Washington this week to try and convince Pres. Trump to continue talks with Kim.
