North Korean Foreign Minister Admonishes U.S. Summit with Japan, South Korea

Following a summit between the U.S., South Korea, and Japan on November 14th, 2022 in which the three countries pledged to strengthen collective defense and anti-missile defenses in the face of North Korean launches, the North Korean government issued a rare rebuke.

The statement from Foreign Minister Choe Son Hui admonished the summit and lambasted the U.S.’ extended deterrence for its allies and that it would only lead to a stronger military response from North Korea. He also said, that the U.S. is making a “gamble is would regret”, probably in reference to the discussions on the deployment of U.S. nuclear bombers and possibly even nuclear weapons to South Korea.

The full statement can be found below.
