North Korea’s UN envoy warned on Tuesday that the Korean Peninsula is “on the brink of nuclear war”, in part due to “reckless actions” by the US.
“Reckless” actions and “the constant hysteria of the United States and its allies in terms of nuclear confrontation (…) are leading the Korean Peninsula to a military situation on the brink of nuclear war,” Pyongyang’s ambassador to the UN, Kim Song, said in his speech to the UN General Assembly, in which criticized Washington’s policy in Northeast Asia.
The representative of the Democratic People’s Republic of Korea criticized the “current and dangerous situation [que] This is the work of the United States, which in every way seeks to improve its hegemonic ambitions, overestimating its power.”
