North Korean leader Kim Jong Un has been reelected to the top post of the ruling Workers’ Party, with delegates crediting him for bolstering the country’s nuclear arsenal and strengthening its regional standing. State media reported his selection from the ongoing party congress. Kim is expected to outline his key political and military goals for the next five years during the meeting. The report Monday suggests he will double down on accelerating a military nuclear program already equipped with missiles capable of threatening Asian U.S. allies and the American mainland.
