North Korea Mocks Trump’s Nuclear Button Tweet

January 19 04:56 2018

Many have credited the new administration with coordinating the worldwide sanctions regime against Pyongyang.

The US and its allies are concerned that the face-to-face negotiations between the two Koreas, the most substantive talks in more than two years, may be a stalling tactic for Pyongyang.

North Korea recently launched a Hwasong-15 missile, a new type of intercontinental ballistic missile (ICBM) which officials said can fly over 13,000 km (8,080 miles). “It won’t happen!” he tweeted.

Trump’s response to Kim’s threat came hours after USA ambassador to the UN Nikki Haley warned that North Korea may be preparing for another missile test.

Trump has yet to respond to North Korea’s latest attack.

Never mind that those 20 countries, which didn’t include China and Russian Federation, weren’t the ones who could hash out a deal.

North Korea has described Donald Trump’s claim that he has a “bigger nuclear button” than Kim Jong- un as the “spasm of lunatic”. “They’ve talked for 25 years and they’ve taken advantage. of our previous presidents”.

Presenting his priorities for 2018 to the General Assembly, Guterres said there were “small signs of hope” after North Korea agreed to take part in the Winter Olympics in the South and the re-opening of a military hotline between Pyongyang and Seoul.

Nevertheless, Tillerson once again emphasized that the United States and global community would prefer to resolve tensions diplomatically by negotiating an end to the North Korean nuclear program through talks, spurred by the increasingly heavy economic toll that worldwide sanctions are having on the isolated country. But he warned that the USA would pull out in a few months unless “terrible flaws” in the deal are fixed.

Asked whether he thought the United States needs more missile defense systems, he said: ‘Yes, yes I do.

He has completed his strategic task: “He has a nuclear weapon, he has missiles of global reach, up to 13,000 km [more than 8,000 miles], which can reach nearly any point of the globe”, Mr. Putin said, reported Reuters. “I’m not suggesting that these two actions will automatically trigger military options”.

Tillerson voiced confidence Wednesday that North Korea would eventually negotiate with the U.S.as the economic pressure grows.

With the upcoming mid-term elections in November, the administration could be pressed to deliver results on its “America First” platform.

“It’s apparent to us they’re not fully implementing all of the sanctions and there’s some evidence that they may be frustrating some of the sanctions”, U.S. Secretary of State Rex Tillerson told reporters as he flew back to Washington from the meeting.

One determining factor could be the parallel talks on renegotiating the North American Free Trade Agreement.

Now, Mr. Kim is attempting to use talks with the South – and some Olympic symbolism – to freeze out Mr. Trump.
