President Donald Trump’s top priority is to protect the U.S. and its allies against the “growing threat” from North Korea,’’ a US envoy said on Tuesday.
Also America is ready to use “the full range of capabilities at our disposal,” US Disarmament Ambassador, Robert Wood, added.
Wood told the UN-sponsored Conference on Disarmament in Geneva that the “path to dialogue still remains an option” for Pyongyang.
Wood said: “North Korea’s ballistic missile and nuclear weapons programmes pose grave threats to the entire world.”
“My president’s top priority remains protecting the homeland, U.S. territories and our allies against North Korean aggression.
“We remain prepared to use the full range of capabilities at our disposal against the growing threat from North Korea.”
There was no immediate reply from the North Korean delegate in the room.
