Biden admin warns North Korea any nuke attacks against US, allies would seal the ‘end’ of Kim Jong Un’s regime

The Biden administration warned North Korea on Saturday any nuclear attacks against the United States or its allies would be “unacceptable” and seal the “end” of Kim Jong Un’s dictatorship. 

The statement came a day after the United States-Republic of Korea Nuclear Consultative Group met in Washington to discuss nuclear deterrence efforts and plan for a potential fight between the allied nations plan and North Korea. 

The White House said any attack by Pyongyang against South Korea “will be met with a swift, overwhelming, and decisive response.” 

The thundering message Saturday echoed President Biden’s warning in April to Pyongyang that any nuclear attack on the United States or its allies “will result in the end of whatever regime” were to take such action.

In August, however, North Korea revealed it simulated “scorched earth” nuclear strikes on South Korea using ballistic missiles. 

Pyongyang claimed the tests were performed in response to the United States flying long-range B-1B bombers to the Korean peninsula as part of a joint drill with South Korea. 

North Korea has developed and tested ballistic missiles that can reach South Korea, Japan and the US.

Kim Tae-hyo, South Korea’s deputy national security adviser, said North Korea may test-launch an intercontinental ballistic missile, which can carry a nuclear warhead, later this month. 

In September 2022, North Korea passed an expansive law enshrining the nation as a nuclear-armed state, which Kim deemed “irreversible.”
