The United States has issued a stern warning to North Korea regarding its nuclear threats.
In a statement released during the second U.S.-Republic of Korea (ROK) Nuclear Consultative Group (NCG) meeting in Washington, D.C., the White House made it clear that any nuclear attack by North Korea against the United States or its allies would be deemed unacceptable and would result in the end of the Kim regime.
The United States reaffirmed its unwavering commitment to providing extended deterrence to South Korea, backed by the full range of U.S. capabilities, including nuclear.
This warning comes in the wake of North Korea's claim that it successfully launched a spy satellite, which reportedly captured images of the White House, Naval Station Norfolk, and Newport News Dockyard in Virginia. The White House strongly condemned this launch, citing violations of United Nations Security Council resolutions that prohibit North Korea from using ballistic missile technology.
The Biden administration is closely assessing the situation in coordination with its allies and partners. In a statement, the administration urged all countries to condemn the launch and called on North Korea to engage in serious negotiations. However, North Korea has responded by warning that any interference with its spy satellite would be considered a declaration of war.
According to a spokesperson for North Korea's defense ministry, "Any attack on a space asset of the DPRK will be deemed a declaration of war against it." The state-run Korean Central News Agency reported this statement.
The tension between the United States and North Korea continues to escalate as both sides stand firm in their positions. The international community is closely watching the developments and hoping for a peaceful resolution to this ongoing conflict.
