“We Will Continue Our Nuclear Program If US Continues Blackmail”- North Korea Warns

2 Min Read

Supreme Leader of North Korea, Kim Jong Un has warned the US and its allies that his country would only stop its nuclear programme if they stop the ‘blackmailing’ and suspend US war drill with their allies in the Korean Peninsula.

However, Kim said, so long as the US continues its ‘blackmail’ and war drills his country would continue to expand its nuclear capacity.

North Korea earlier this year in September launched three different intercontinental ballistic missiles into the sea in what was its biggest nuclear test till date.

This has caused speculation that Korea is closer than ever to having a nuclear arsenal that could match the US.

In a report, Korean Central News Agency (KCNA) said North Korea had taken steps for “bolstering the capabilities for self-defense and preemptive attacks with nuclear force” in the face of a continued “nuclear threat and blackmail and war drills” by the United States and its “vassal forces.”

KCNA accused US President Donald Trump of employing unprecedented hostile policies against North Korea and threatening it with talks of pre-emptive strikes.

It described North Korea as an “undeniable new strategic state and nuclear power.”

“Do not expect any change in its policy. Its entity as an invincible power can neither be undermined nor be stamped out,” KCNA said.

“The DPRK, as a responsible nuclear weapons state, will lead the trend of history to the only road of independence,” it added, referring to North Korea by its official name, the Democratic People’s Republic of Korea.
