The Hindustan News Hub reported, North Korean leader Kim Jong Un has sent several gardeners to labor camps for failing to feed Kimjongilia begonia, a favorite flower to decorate the country’s streets and memorials for father Kim Jong Il’s birth anniversary. These camps are 24-hour prisons.

The flower is named Kimjongilia begonia after former dictator Jong-il. The gardeners were supposed to feed these flowers before the birth anniversary of Kim Jong-il on 16 February, but they did not succeed. A farm manager from Samsu County in northern Riangang province has been jailed for six months for neglecting plants.

Han could not find firewood to adequately heat the greenhouses during the winter months, and the plants died as a result. Along with him, many other gardeners have also been sent to the labor camp.

Another farm gardener, 40-year-old Choi, was also sentenced to three months in the labor camp. It is alleged that he had not set the temperature of the greenhouse boilers properly.

The Hindustan News Hub noted that the birth anniversary of Kim Jong-il is one of the most important holidays of North Korea. For even the smallest mistake on this occasion, dictator Kim Jong-un gives harsh punishment.

Upon arriving to participate in the summit of the European Political Community, which includes around forty heads of state in Budapest, he said, "I look forward to sitting with the elected U.S. president and seeing how we will collectively ensure we meet challenges, including the threats from Russia and North Korea." He also noted that the strengthening of ties between Russia and North Korea poses a threat to the United States as well, according to reports from Agence France-Presse.

Before Trump's victory, Rutte expressed confidence that a united Washington would remain part of the defensive alliance, even if Trump became the 47th president of the United States. In an interview with German public broadcaster ZDF last Monday night, he stated that both Republicans and Democrats understand that NATO serves not only the security of Europe but also that of America. He added that both candidates are aware that the security of the United States is closely tied to NATO.

On Wednesday, NATO congratulated Trump on his victory but did not address the Ukrainian issue.

It is noteworthy that the relationship between the elected U.S. president and the defense alliance was not the best during his first term in the White House. Trump criticized NATO member states multiple times and even hinted at withdrawing from the alliance unless they increased their financial contributions.

Additionally, the issue of the Russian-Ukrainian war is one of the matters that complicate relations between the two sides, especially since Trump has repeatedly stated that he can end this ongoing conflict, which began in 2022, quickly. He implied that he had a peace plan between Kyiv and Moscow, while his vice president, JD Vance, revealed aspects of that plan, which stipulated Ukraine's commitment not to join NATO, thereby sending reassuring signals to the Russians.

Furthermore, many NATO member states in Europe fear that Trump might halt military aid to Ukraine after he previously criticized the U.S. for pouring funds into supporting Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky.
