North Korea says its nuclear weapons designed for combat use, not 'bargaining items'

North Korea said Saturday its nuclear weapons have been designed for combat use, not "bargaining items" amid tension on the Korean Peninsula.

Pyongyang said in a commentary published by the state-run Korean Central News Agency (KCNA), that its nuclear force is not for negotiations but for combat use, after the US said Washington would seek "complete denuclearization of North Korea," under President Donald Trump.
