North Korea rejects diplomacy until it can strike us east coast<\/span><\/strong><\/span><\/h2>\n

The hermit kingdom has recklessly brushed aside negotiations until the country can \u201ccounter\u201d the US\u2019 military might.<\/span><\/p>\n

A North Korean official said: \u201cBefore we can engage in diplomacy with the Trump administration, we want to send a clear message that the DPRK has a reliable defensive and offensive capability to counter any aggression from the United States.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n

The careless disregarding of negotiations heightens global tensions shortly after the US and Japan agreed to increase their stranglehold over the hermit kingdom.<\/span><\/p>\n

The US Undersecretary of State, John Sullivan, stated: “We must, however, with our allies in Japan and South Korea and elsewhere, be prepared for the worst should diplomacy fail.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n

The US ambassador to South Korea, Ahn ho-Young, added: “The goal of the Trump administration’s sanctions and pressure campaign is ultimately a peaceful solution to the North Korean problem.<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cWhether it’s Defence Secretary James Mattis or Secretary of State Rex Tillerson, they all say the same thing.”<\/span><\/p>\n

In order for the rogue nation to be able to reach the United States, Pyongyang would have to develop an ICBM capable of exiting and re-entering the earth\u2019s atmosphere without breaking up.<\/span><\/p>\n

White House chief of staff, John Kelly, declared last week that the isolationist kingdom \u201cis developing a pretty good nuclear re-entry vehicle\u201d.<\/span><\/p>\n

This week the US has begun 10 days of joint naval drills with South Korea in a move that has provoked the hermit kingdom.<\/span><\/p>\n

The United States Forces Korea claimed the drill “prepares service members and their families to respond to a wide range of crisis management events such as non-combatant evacuation and natural or man made disasters\u201d.<\/span><\/p>\n

Despot leader Kim Jong-un\u2019s refusal to participate in diplomatic talks until his deranged nuclear ambitions are achieved are a direct insult to US Secretary of State Rex Tillerson who recently stated that \u201cdiplomatic efforts will continue until the first bomb drops\u201d.<\/span><\/p>\n

North Korea\u2019s reckless move comes as the country is currently grovelling to China as the rogue state faces an economic and military squeeze from the rest of the world.<\/span><\/p>\n

The isolationist nation\u2019s timely dispatch comes during the Beijing\u2019s 19th Congress of its Communist Party today that has praised the power in an attempt to loosen the world\u2019s grip on Pyongyang.<\/span><\/p>\n

The North\u2019s ruling Workers\u2019 Party stated that China has made “great progress in accomplishing the cause of building socialism with Chinese characteristics\u201d.<\/span><\/p>\n

China recently announced that it will cut off imports of coal, textiles, seafood and oil shipments to the North in an attempt to show the world is serious about crippling Kim Jong-un\u2019s expanding military programme.<\/span><\/p>\n

This decision comes at a time the world braces itself for the possibility of another weapons test from Pyongyang that will coincide with the opening of China\u2019s Communist Party Congress today.<\/span><\/p>\n

The UK has joined in as the world tightens its grip around the neck of North Korea with Foreign Secretary Boris Johnson backing other foreign ministers in a plan to place fresh sanctions on the rogue state.<\/span><\/p>\n

Mr Johnson detailed the effort that will dismantle vital sources of revenue that is currently being poured into Pyongyang\u2019s weapons programme.<\/span><\/p>\n

He said: “North Korea continues to pose an unacceptable threat to the international community, which is why the UK, working closely with our European allies, has secured a set of stringent new sanctions on the regime.<\/span><\/p>\n

“As I have said before, the North Korean regime must bear full responsibility for the measures that the international community is enacting against it, including these sanctions.<\/span><\/p>\n

“Maximising diplomatic and economic pressure on North Korea is the most effective way to pressure Pyongyang to halt its illegal and aggressive actions.”<\/span><\/p>\n
