"They will cease to exist," the US responds to Kim Jong-un's nuclear threat

North Korean leader Kim Jong-un announced during a parade marking the 90th anniversary of his country's military that his regime "will continue to take steps to strengthen and develop nuclear capabilities at a faster pace."

Kim stressed that North Korea would be prepared to be able to use nuclear deterrence at any time and warned that any foreign force seeking a military confrontation "would cease to exist."

These goals have already received a response from the United States.

State Department spokesman Ned Price said that despite what he described as "provocations" from North Korea, the United States "remains open to diplomacy and dialogue with North Korea" to ending its nuclear program.

However, Price stressed that "we also have an obligation to respond to recent provocations from North Korea, and in particular two ballistic missile launches."

The State Department spokesman, meanwhile, stressed that Kim Jong-un's statements confirm the United States' idea that "North Korea poses a threat to international peace and security."

US President Joe Biden has consistently shown his willingness to engage in dialogue with North Korea. However, the regime of this country has shown little interest in holding talks after the three high-level meetings it held with Biden's predecessor, Donald Trump.

Given these refusals, the US does not rule out taking action against North Korea for its actions, such as last month's test of an intercontinental ballistic missile (the first conducted by the Kim Jong-un regime since 2017). ).

In fact, a draft UN Security Council resolution, submitted earlier this month by the United States, to which the AFP agency had access, provides for the tightening of sanctions against Pyongyang.

These will include a reduction from four million to two million barrels of oil that North Korea can import each year for civilian purposes.

The draft resolution, submitted to the 15-member Security Council, will also impose restrictions on North Korea's exports, including mineral fuels and watches.

However, China (North Korea's closest ally) and Russia (whose relations with the West have deteriorated rapidly due to the occupation of Ukraine) have so far refused to discuss such an initiative.

Both countries have the right to veto in the UN Security Council, so the resolution could not be implemented without their approval.
