In response to American officials stating that nuclear war with North Korea would never happen, Pyongyang said on Monday that any war would “only be turned into a nuclear war.” This continues a string of increasingly threatening words used by North Korea as they have revealed their capability to conduct nuclear warfare at a distance that was thought impossible until only a short time ago. The BBC reports that South Korean President Moon Jae-in is pleading with visiting United States military leaders that there must be a “diplomatic solution” to the worsening situation with North Korea.
President Moon said on monday that their “national interest lies in peace” and, addressing President Donald Trump, said that he was” confident that the US will respond to the current situation in a calm and responsible manner.”
