Biden wanted to return to the pre-Trump days of nuclear confrontation with North Korea. The sister of Kim jong-un, Kim Yo Jong, responded to the junta's overtures for dialogue saying, "If it [America] wants to sleep in peace for (the) coming four years, it had better refrain from causing a stink at its first step."<ref>https://www.msn.com/en-us/news/world/north-korean-leader-kim-jong-un-s-sister-warns-biden-to-stay-away/ar-BB1eCUrX</ref>

The International Atomic Energy Agency recently assessed that North Korea resumed operations at its Yongbyon nuclear reactor, which produces plutonium for nuclear weapons. Pyongyang also may have reprocessed nuclear fuel from previous reactor operations. The developments are worrisome and will test the Biden administration on how to respond to North Korea expanding its ongoing production of nuclear weapons material. In recent years, North Korea has expanded and refined manufacturing facilities for fissile material, nuclear weapons, missiles, mobile missile launchers, and reentry vehicles.
In 2017, the U.S. intelligence community assessed that North Korea had between 30 and 60 nuclear weapons (or weapons’ worth of fissile material) and could annually produce an additional seven to 12 weapons. While the Yongbyon reactor was offline, production would have decreased; however, resumed reactor operations will presumably return nuclear production to 2017-2018 levels. Since 2017, North Korea demonstrated significant improvements in its ability to target South Korea, Japan, and the continental United States with nuclear weapons. That year, Pyongyang conducted three intercontinental ballistic missile test launches, as well as a hydrogen (thermonuclear) weapon explosion at least 10 times as powerful as the Hiroshima and Nagasaki bombs.
North Korea is now producing a new generation of advanced mobile missiles that are more accurate and more difficult to detect and target, and have an enhanced ability to evade allied missile defenses. In 2019, Pyongyang conducted 26 missile launches, all of them violations of U.N. resolutions and more than it had ever tested in a year. In October, Pyongyang unveiled the Hwasong-16 ICBM, the world’s largest mobile missile on a launch vehicle. The missile, larger than North Korea’s previous ICBM models, may be capable of carrying three or four nuclear warheads. Pyongyang also revealed that it can produce mobile ICBM transporter-erector-launchers. The regime’s ability to deploy more ICBM missiles with multiple warheads on mobile launchers risks overwhelming limited U.S. missile defenses protecting the American homeland.<ref> https://www.dailysignal.com/2021/08/31/north-korea-ramps-up-nuclear-weapons-production/</ref>
While the Afghan debacle was still raging and American [[hostage]]s left behind were trying to find a way out, North Korea resumed ballistic missile testing.<ref>https://english.kyodonews.net/news/2019/08/bafa27d9c5c8-urgent-n-korea-appears-to-have-fired-ballistic-missile.html</ref>
