U.S. weapons experts say they believe North Korea may be preparing to test a new strategic weapon system that would vastly expand Kim Jong Un\u2019s arsenal and defy President Donald Trump\u2019s threshold requirements for continued engagement with the U.S.<\/p>\n

The experts, led by Dr. Victor Cha of the Center for Strategic and International Studies \u201cBeyond Parallel\u201d website, have posted new and unusually clear satellite images taken Friday that show North Korea may be preparing its first submarine-launched ballistic missile test, potentially a major new development for the North.<\/p>\n

…<\/p>\n

The experts believe the earliest North Korea would be ready to launch would be Sept. 8 in the U.S., or Sept. 9 in North Korea. That is North Korea\u2019s Foundation Day, honoring the establishment of the state.<\/p>\n

In the past, Kim has liked to test new weapons on his country\u2019s holidays, as well as holidays in the U.S., to get maximum attention. Launching the test only months before the U.S. election would raise a major political challenge to Trump’s claim of progress with the North as one of his diplomatic achievements.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n
