**rth Korea ?poses a threat to us all?: Mattis
SINGAPORE: **rth Korea and its nuclear ******* programme pose a “threat to us all,” US Defence Secretary Jim Mattis said on Saturday, calling on the international community to work together on the issue.
“It is therefore imperative that we do our part each of us to fulfill our obligations and work together to support our shared goal of denuclearisation on the Korean Peninsula,” Mattis said in a policy speech at the Shangri-La defence summit in Singapore. Pyongyang on Monday test-fired a**ther rocket, the latest in a ****** of launches and atomic tests that have ratcheted up tensions over its quest to develop ******* capable of hitting the United States -- something President Donald Trump has said “won’t happen”. “The regime’s actions are manifestly illegal under international law,” Mattis said. “There is a strong international consensus that the current situation can**t continue. China’s declared policy of a denuclearised Korean Peninsula is our policy as well, and also that of Japan and the Republic of Korea.” Trump -- who frequently de**unced China on the campaign trail -- has turned to Beijing to help rein in **rth Korea’s ******* programme. Mattis’s challenge on his visit is to reassure allies that America can apply pressure on China over its claims in the South China Sea, while at the same time convincing Beijing that controlling **rth Korea is in its own security interests. “The Trump administration is encouraged by China’s renewed commitment to work with the international community toward denuclearisation,” Mattis said. President Donald Trump -- who frequently de**unced China on the campaign trail -- has turned to Beijing to help rein in **rth Korea’s ******* programme, prompting concerns among Asian allies that America might go easy on the South China Sea issue. Calling **rth Korea’s nuclear ambitions a “threat to us all”, Mattis said the international community must work together. “It is therefore imperative that we do our part each of us to fulfill our obligations and work together to support our shared goal of denuclearisation on the Korean Peninsula,” Mattis said in a policy speech at the Shangri-La defence summit in Singapore. Pyongyang on Monday test-fired a**ther rocket, the latest in a ****** of launches and atomic tests that have ratcheted up tensions over its quest to develop ******* capable of hitting the United States -- something President Donald Trump has said “won’t happen”. أكثر... ??????? ??????: **rth Korea ?poses a threat to us all?: Mattis || ??????: ahlam1399 || ??????: اسم منتداك
