Kim arrives in Russia

In return, the Hermit Kingdom could receive much-needed supplies of food and energy, as well as help with weapons technologies. White House national security adviser Jake Sullivan warned yesterday that Pyongyang will “pay a price” if it does strike such a deal – and there could be consequences for Russia too, because purchasing North Korean weapons violates United Nations resolutions.
