Pence vows ?overwhelming? response to **rth Korea
 YOKOSUKA, Japan: The United States will counter any **rth Korean attack with an "overwhelming and effective" response, Vice President Mike Pence vowed on Wednesday, as he stood on the deck of a massive American aircraft carrier docked in Japan. Donald Trump’s deputy is in the region to reassure allies fretting over Pyongyang’s quickening missile programme, and its apparent readiness to carry out a**ther banned nuclear test in its quest to develop an atomic ****** that can hit the US mainland. Pence, whose visit started in South Korea the day after the failed launch by **rth Korea of what analysts said could have been a new missile, described the threat from the isolated regime as growing. Aboard the USS Ronald Reagan, the vice president, adopting a Churchillian tone, told troops he was there as "storm clouds gather on the horizon" of **rtheast Asia. "**rth Korea is the most dangerous and urgent threat to peace and security in the Asia-Pacific," Pence said. But, "we will defeat any attack and meet any use of conventional or nuclear ******* with an overwhelming and effective American response." Pence’s comments come after a senior **rth Korean official warned the regime had ** intention of dialling down its missile programme, pledging weekly tests and threatening "all-out war" if the US took any action against it. That kind of rhetoric has unnerved allies in Japan and South Korea, who would be at the sharp end of any **rth Korean response. Seoul, the South Korean capital, is just 35 miles away from the military demarcation line that splits the Korean peninsula, and is within easy range of **rth Korean long-range artillery. The Ronald Reagan, whose home port is Yokosuka in Japan, is part of the Seventh Fleet and is regularly deployed around the western Pacific. أكثر... ??????? ??????: Pence vows ?overwhelming? response to **rth Korea || ??????: ahlam1399 || ??????: اسم منتداك
