PYONGYANG, July 13 (Xinhua) — The Democratic People's Republic of Korea (DPRK) condemned the joint military exercises between the United States, Japan and the Republic of Korea (ROK) on Sunday, calling the trilateral maneuvers "a major danger factor that increases the level of military tension on the Korean Peninsula and adjacent areas."

As reported by the Korean Central News Agency, citing a statement by the head of the Political Department of the DPRK Ministry of Defense, on July 11, the United States, Japan and the Republic of Korea “held provocative trilateral joint air exercises, using various types of bombers, including the B-52H strategic bomber, in the skies over the Korean Peninsula and its environs.”

The statement noted that the military alliances between the US and Japan and between the US and the ROK “have finally evolved into a nuclear-based trilateral military alliance,” and the trilateral military cooperation being promoted in all areas foreshadows “long-term instability and tension on the Korean Peninsula, which may lead to an unpredictable phase of military confrontation at any time.”

The statement stressed that taking countermeasures against provocative military actions that threaten regional security, such as steps to strengthen the multilateral military alliance, is the DPRK's sovereign right. –0–

WASHINGTON, July 13 (Xinhua) — U.S. President Donald Trump on Saturday urged his supporters to stop attacking Attorney General Pam Bondi over the Justice Department's recent findings regarding sex trafficking defendant Jeffrey Epstein.

“What is happening to my ‘boys’ and in some cases ‘girls’?” Trump wrote on Truth Social. “They are all going after Attorney General Pam Bondi who is doing a fantastic job! We are on the same team, MAGA, and I don’t like what is happening,” he added.

He urged his team "not to waste time and energy on Jeffrey Epstein, a man no one cares about."

Trump's defense comes amid a backlash over the Epstein files. On Monday, the Justice Department released a memo saying there was no evidence Epstein had a "client list" or was murdered, prompting disbelief in the findings and criticism of the investigation by Trump's political allies.

For years, D. Trump and his supporters have been advocating for the release of Epstein's client list. –0–

URUMQI, July 13 (Xinhua) — China completed construction on Sunday of a 4,197-km ultra-high-voltage (UHV) power transmission line around the Tarim Basin, home to the country's largest desert, marking a milestone in infrastructure development in the southern part of northwest China's Xinjiang Uygur Autonomous Region.

The largest project of its kind in the country, the 750-kV ring transmission line consists of nine substations and nearly 10,000 steel towers, according to the Xinjiang-based local company in charge of implementing the project, which is part of the Xinjiang branch of China National Grid Corporation.

The said power transmission line took 15 years to build and is expected to be officially commissioned by November 2025, the company said.

The Tarim Basin is home to the Taklamakan Desert, the world's second-largest shifting sand desert. For centuries, sandstorms have battered the oases of southern Xinjiang, hampering development in the region.

Officials and experts believe the project could accelerate development in southern Xinjiang and provide new energy sources across the country. -0-
