The United States will fully use their military potential, including nuclear, ordinary and missile defense, to protect its allies – Japan and South Korea, the US Secretary of State Wendy Sherman said on Tuesday, warning North Korea from the escalation of its provocations, writes Business Standard.
According to Sherman, the repeated launches of ballistic missiles and artillery of North Korea in recent weeks have been provocative military operations.
“This is deeply irresponsible, dangerous and destabilized,” said Sherman at negotiations in Tokyo with the First Deputy Foreign Minister of South Korea Cho Hyundon.
