美声称对朝战略忍耐时代结束

The Vice President of the USA, Mike Pence, said on Monday that US-North Korea relations have changed. Mr Pence said the era of strategic patience is over. Pence said that the USA has shown great patience with North Korea for many years. It has tried talking to North Korea to get it to end its nuclear weapons testing. However, new U.S. President Donald Trump promised he would not allow North Korea to develop nuclear weapons. Pence said, “Since 1992, the United States and our allies have stood together for a Korean Peninsula without nuclear. We hope to achieve this goal through peaceable means. But all choices are on the table.” One of these choices is to attack North Korea's missile bases.

Mr Pence's warning to North Korea to not test the USA came the day after North Korea tested another missile. Pence said North Korea's missile testing is a danger to the USA. He said North Korea would soon have missiles that can reach America. North Korea's Vice Foreign Minister Han Song-ryol told the BBC that his country would continue to test missiles. He said, “We’ll be doing more missile tests on a weekly, monthly and yearly basis.” He added that an “all-out war” would happen if the US took military action against North Korea. North Korea's ambassador to the UN, Kim In-ryong, said the US was breaking global peace and stability. He said the USA was using gangster-like logic in its foreign policy.
