North Korea has accused the United States of turning the Korean Peninsula into “the world’s biggest hotspot” and creating “a dangerous situation in which a thermonuclear war may break out at any moment”.
Key points:
- The North says it is ready to react to “any mode of war desired by the US”
- Mike Pence says North Korea should not test the resolve of Donald Trump
- Kremlin state media says Trump is “more dangerous” than Kim Jong-un
On Monday, North Korea’s deputy UN ambassador Kim In-ryong told a news conference “if the US dares opt for a military action,” North Korea “is ready to react to any mode of war desired by the US”.
Mr Kim said the Trump administration’s deployment of the Carl Vinson nuclear carrier task group to waters off the Korean Peninsula again “proves the US reckless moves for invading the DPRK (Democratic People’s Republic of Korea) have reached a serious phase of its scenario”.
