North Korea is a 'clear and present danger,' the foreign minister of South Korea has told CNN in an exclusive interview.
North Korea is a “clear and present danger,” the foreign minister of South Korea has told CNN in an exclusive interview. Kim Jong Un’s frequent missile tests and repeated warnings that he would consider using tactical nuclear weapons were a display of aggression and the only way to counter this was through extended US deterrence, Foreign Minister Park Jin said on Wednesday. “What North Korea is doing is completely wrong,” Park said.
On the same day as Park was speaking, guided-missile destroyers from both countries were joined by another from Japan in a ballistic missile defense exercise in the waters between Japan and the Korean Peninsula. Park offered little hope for any early easing of tensions with North Korea, saying there are no active negotiations and that Kim would not give up his nuclear weapons voluntarily. The North Korean leader must be made to see that talks are his only option, Park said.
