North korea claims us biochemical plot to kill kim jong un
A sensitive and controversial topic!
Yes, North Korea has repeatedly accused the United States of plotting to assassinate Kim Jong-un, the Supreme Leader of North Korea, using biochemical weapons. These allegations have been made on several occasions, including in 2018, 2019, and 2020.
In 2018, North Korea's state-run media outlet, KCNA, reported that the US had planned to use a biochemical attack to kill Kim Jong-un during a military parade in Pyongyang. The report claimed that the US had developed a special biochemical agent that could be used to kill Kim Jong-un and other high-ranking North Korean officials.
In 2019, North Korea's Foreign Ministry accused the US of plotting to assassinate Kim Jong-un using a biochemical attack, citing alleged evidence of a US plot to use a "poisonous substance" to kill the North Korean leader.
In 2020, North Korea's state-run newspaper, Rodong Sinmun, published an article accusing the US of planning to use a biochemical attack to kill Kim Jong-un during a visit to the Demilitarized Zone (DMZ) between North and South Korea.
The US government has consistently denied these allegations, calling them "baseless" and "absurd." The US State Department has stated that the allegations are "completely false" and that the US has no intention of harming Kim Jong-un or any other North Korean official.
It's worth noting that North Korea has a history of making exaggerated or false claims about the US and other countries, often as a way to distract from internal issues or to justify its own military actions. The country's propaganda machine is known for spreading misinformation and disinformation to the international community.
In this case, the biochemical plot allegations are likely a way for North Korea to deflect attention from its own human rights abuses, economic struggles, and military provocations, as well as to justify its own military buildup and nuclear program.
Despite the denials, the allegations have caused tensions to rise between the US and North Korea, and have contributed to a deteriorating relationship between the two countries.
