North Korea has warned of a nuclear attack on the United States, as a US Navy strike group steamed towards the Korean peninsula and US President Donald Trump tweeted that the rogue nation was “looking for trouble”.
Key points:
- North Korea says its “revolutionary strong army is keenly watching” US moves
- Donald Trump has urged China to do more on the North Korea issue
- North Korea is set to celebrate the 105th anniversary of Kim Il-sung’s birth
Mr Trump, who has urged China to do more to rein in its impoverished neighbour, said in a tweet that the United States would “solve the problem” of North Korea with or without China’s help.
Tension has escalated sharply on the Korean peninsula amid concerns that reclusive North Korea may soon conduct a sixth nuclear test and after Washington said at the weekend it was diverting US Navy strike group Carl Vinson from port calls to Australia toward the Korean Peninsula as a show of force.
