North Korea issues threat to sanction supporters

International Desk: A foreign ministry spokesman for Kim Jong-un claimed that the Trump administration’s ”arrogant” National Security Strategy report was “nothing but the proclamation of aggression aimed at holding sway over the world”.

The spokesman added: “The international society should remain vigilant against the manoeuvres of the gang of Trump to invade and control the DPRK by igniting a nuclear war at any cost in the Korean peninsula.

“And see through the ulterior motive behind the US’ repeated talk of dialogue, designed to cover up its evil intention and mock the world.

"As the US set its diplomatic and security policy at crushing us militarily and is publicly aiming a sword at us, we will make the US bitterly regret its strategy with our cannons.”

On Monday the Trump administration unveiled its National Security Strategy which detailed the challenge posed by North Korea’s nuclear missile programme to the US.

The report said: “North Korea is ruled as a ruthless dictatorship without regard for human dignity. For more than 25 years, it has pursued nuclear weapons and ballistic missiles in defiance of every commitment it has made.

“Today, these missiles and weapons threaten the United States and our allies. ¬The longer we ignore threats from countries determined to proliferate and develop weapons of mass destruction, the worse such threats become, and the fewer defensive options we have.”

In a foreword written by the US President, Donald Trump added: “We are rallying the world against the rogue regime in North Korea.”

Following the report’s release, Pyongyang on Friday hit back claiming “peace and stability on the Korean peninsula” had been jeopardised by previous US administrations throwing out all agreements.
