Kim Jong Un’s regime said it is not frightened by Secretary of State Rex Tillerson’s warning that pre-emptive military action is « on the table. «
North Korea is not frightened by U. S. warnings that pre-emptive military action is on the table, its foreign ministry said Tuesday, describing its expanding nuclear program as a « treasured sword of justice. »
A spokesman for the rogue regime dismissed Secretary of State Rex Tillerson’s comment Friday that an elevated weapons threat « would be met with an appropriate response. »
« If the businessmen-turned-U. S. authorities thought that they would frighten [North Korea], they would soon know that their method would not work, » the foreign ministry said according to state news agency KCNA .
The regime « has the will and capability to fully respond to any war the U. S. would like to ignite, » it added. « The U. S. should face up to the situation … with its eyes wide open. »
It comes after leader Kim Jong Un announced the ground test of a « high-thrust » rocket engine on Saturday.
