North Korea - 57 Nuclear Weapons

Posted: 22nd August 2026

President Trump warned Wednesday that North Korea has “57 very powerful nuclear weapons,” comments that come after he complimented the country a few days ago. “The fact that I get along with him, that’s a good thing, not a bad thing. He has 57 very powerful nuclear weapons,” Trump said during an event at the White House, referring to North Korean leader Kim Jong Un. “Should’ve never allowed it to happen. They should’ve never allowed it, if I were president, I wouldn’t have allowed it. But he’s got them. I get along with him very well,” the president added.
