Is world heading towards a nuclear war? Yes, if you believe North Korea and the reason is — US President Donald Trump.
In the latest round of war of words, North Korean leadership has been said as saying, “(Donald) Trump is driving the situation on the Korean peninsula to the brink of a nuclear war.”In a quick reaction, US President also tweeted, “Military solutions are now fully in place,locked and loaded,should North Korea act unwisely. Hopefully Kim Jong Un will find another path!.”
The comments comes hours after neighbour China told both North Korea and the US to be 'cautious' with their words and actions.Responding to a question about North Korea threatening to fire missiles towards Guam and US President Donald Trump's tough warnings against Pyongyang, foreign ministry spokesman Geng Shuang said in a statement that the two nations should seek to "ease tensions".
Meanwhile, the state-run Global Times has asked Beijing to remain 'neutral' in event of any war.The nationalistic Global Times tabloid said in an editorial that Washington and Pyongyang were playing a "reckless game" that could lead to "miscalculations and a strategic 'war'"."Beijing is not able to persuade Washington or Pyongyang to back down at this time," the Global Times said.
