North Korea's foreign ministry stated on Sunday that it is closely monitoring the Venezuelan situation triggered by Washington's 'high-handed act,' describing the military operation as further evidence of the US's 'rogue and brutal nature.' Analysts say the events will heighten Kim Jong-un's anxiety about a similar fate befalling his regime, reinforcing his reliance on nuclear weapons. Chinese President Xi Jinping is likely to continue supporting Kim to counter US and allied efforts undermining China's regional influence.
