North Korea’s vice foreign minister said Friday that President Donald Trump’s comments and incendiary tweets have added fuel to a “vicious cycle” of foreign tensions and that Pyongyang is prepared to launch its own pre-emptive strike. Vice Minister Han Song Ryol said Pyongyang feels that Trump’s administration is “more vicious and more aggressive” than was Obama’s.
North Korea, Han said, will continue to stockpile its nuclear arsenal in both “quality and quantity” if Trump wants to go to war. “Trump is always making provocations with his aggressive words,” Han said. “It’s not the DPRK but the U.S. and Trump that makes trouble.”
