Since then, North Korea has continued to develop its nuclear and conventional weapons programs and is now believed to possess dozens of nuclear warheads.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>South Korea&#8217;s government claims Pyongyang has between 80 and 120 warheads. Mr. Trump recently said the North had 57 nuclear warheads.<\/p>\n<p>The Kim regime has given no indication of interest in a new round of talks with Mr. Trump or with Lee, despite Mr. Trump&#8217;s
