Headline: UNCAPTIONED: North Korea Condemns US Support for Taiwan and Reaffirms Backing for Russia
Caption: North Korea Condemns US Support for Taiwan and Reaffirms Backing for Russia. North Korea criticised US arms sales and support for Taiwan, accusing Washington of increasing regional tensions. State media said American policy undermines stability as new US-made fighter jets recently arrived in Taiwan. Pyongyang warned Washington against confronting China and reaffirmed longstanding support for Beijing's official One China principle. China claims Taiwan as its territory, while Taipei rejects Beijing's sovereignty claims over the democratic island. The United States lacks formal ties with Taiwan but is legally required to support its defence. Separately, Kim Jong Un pledged continued support for Russia in a birthday message to Vladimir Putin. Kim praised Russia's war effort without explicitly mentioning Ukraine, while promising deeper strategic cooperation with Moscow. North Korea has sent thousands of troops to support Russia since both countries strengthened defence ties. Instructions: THIS VIDEO MUST NOT BE EDITED FOR LENGTH TO COMBINE WITH OTHER CONTENT
