US blasts North Korea must stop ‘threatening behaviour\u2019 and begin talks amid WW3 fears<\/span><\/strong><\/span><\/h2>\n

US blasts North Korea must stop ‘threatening behaviour\u2019 and begin talks amid WW3 fears:- THE US Secretary of State said Kim Jong-un and his hermit kingdom must stop their \u201cthreatening behaviour\u201d before talks can begin to stop World War 3 escalations.<\/span><\/p>\n

Rex Tillerson said he was ready to meet with the dictator run-state \u201cwithout precondition\u201d but “North Korea must earn its way back to the table”.<\/span><\/p>\n

This indicated a possible shift in US policy but the White House said it is not the right time to talk.<\/span><\/p>\n

Mr Tillerson said at a meeting with the UN Security Council in New York that \u201ca sustained cessation of North Korea’s threatening behaviour must occur before talks can begin.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n

He went on to say: “Let’s just meet. We can talk about the weather if you want.”<\/span><\/p>\n

These comments came two weeks after North Korea tested a new intercontinental ballistic missile, which it said could carry a nuclear weapon to the US.<\/span><\/p>\n

Mr Tillerson told the council: “We have been clear that all options remain on the table in the defence of our nation but we do not seek nor do we want war with North Korea.”<\/span><\/p>\n

The Secretary of State insisted that the US will use all necessary means to defend itself against North Korea but they also hope to resolve the issue through diplomacy.<\/span><\/p>\n

He said Washington will continue the “pressure campaign” of economic sanctions and diplomatic isolation “until denuclearisation is achieved.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n

“We will, in the meantime, keep our channels of communication open.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n

Mr Tillerson went on to urge the international community to fully implement UN Security Council sanctions against North Korea and put into place other steps to deprive Kim Jong-un\u2019s regime of funding its weapons programs.<\/span><\/p>\n

He said by \u201dcontinuing to allow North Korean labourers to toil in slave-like conditions inside Russia in exchange for wages used to fund nuclear weapons programs calls into question Russia’s dedication as a partner for peace,\u201c after he urged Russia and China to do more.<\/span><\/p>\n

“Similarly, as Chinese crude oil flows to North Korean refineries, the United States questions China’s commitment to solving an issue that has serious implications for the security of its own citizens.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n

North Korean Ambassador Ja Song-nam told the UN Security Council that Pyongyang’s development of nuclear weapons is a self-defensive measure aimed at protecting its sovereign rights from “the U.S. nuclear threat and blackmail.”<\/span><\/p>\n

Meanwhile, according to John Park, Director of the Korea Working Group of the Harvard Kennedy School, the hermit kingdom cannot be stopped by China \u201canytime soon\u201d due to a longer Chinese \u201cgame plan\u201d.<\/span><\/p>\n

China has been urged by the US President Donald Trump to do more to help put a stop to Kim Jong-un\u2019s nuclear dream.<\/span><\/p>\n

Mr Park said: \u201cChina can do more. First of all, if you look at North Korea\u2019s overall trade, 90 per cent of that trade is with China.<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cIn terms of the will, I think that the Chinese are very focused on what I call \u2018Beijing sunshine policy\u2019 with Chinese characteristics.<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cThis is China\u2019s way of trying to build up the workers party in North Korea. Trying to engage this regime to move away from nuclear development and economic development overall.<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cI think as much as North Korea is engaged in this type of destabilising activity, North Korea is not going to be jettisoned by China anytime soon.<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cThis is part of a longer-term game plan that I don\u2019t see much deviation from at this late stage of the game\u201d.<\/span><\/p>\n
