Pyongyang says it isn’t interested in engaging in talks as long as the U.S. pursues what North Korea described as a hostile policy
SEOUL—North Korea said the U.S. had pushed tensions on the Korean Peninsula to an “extreme red line,” responding to recent promises by U.S. Defense Secretary Lloyd Austin to expand joint military drills with South Korea and enhance nuclear deterrence.
North Korea said it isn’t interested in any contact or dialogue with the U.S. as long as Washington pursues what Pyongyang describes as a hostile and confrontational policy. The U.S. actions threatened to turn the Korean Peninsula into a “huge war arsenal,” Pyongyang’s Foreign Ministry said Thursday, adding that it would respond to military moves by the U.S. with “overwhelming nuclear force.”
