North Korea’s foreign ministry has issued a furious statement this weekend, saying American aggression “cannot be tolerated”.
The fiery statement, which was issued in a Pyongyang-based propaganda newspaper yesterday, said Donald Trump was “terrified” of North Korea’s nuclear progress.
And it said any attempt to strangle North Korea with sanctions or a blockade would receive a furious response.
The statement said: “The gang of Trump, being terrified by our accomplishment of the great historic cause of completing the state nuclear force, is driving the situation on the Korean peninsula more and more close to the brink of war, acting recklessly without any sense of reason“A naval blockade is an act of wanton violation of the sovereignty and dignity of an independent state and an act of war of aggression which cannot be tolerated.
“The gang of Trump is taking extremely dangerous and big step towards the nuclear war by recklessly seeking the naval blockade against our country, neglecting the strategic prestige of our country that has achieved the great historic cause of completing the state nuclear force.”
The ministry said Mr Trump’s hard-line tactics had been attempted unsuccessfully in the past.
