Asian countries are concerned about North korea’s promised “christmas gift” and calls on the UNITED states and north Korea to negotiate.
president of the UNITED states, Donald Trump, affejer the warning from North korea’s leader, Kim Jong-un, of a “christmas gift” if the UNITED states does not make concessions.
Both the american and asian observers expect that it could be a new recent weapons test.
Trump said Tuesday in a statement to reporters that the U.S. “will take care of it”.
– We find out what the surprise is, and we will take care of it in a very successful show, says the president outside his resort Mar-a-Lago in Florida, where he spends christmas.
He adds, according to the news agency Reuters, that the promised christmas present from Kim Jong-un might be a “nice gift”.
– Perhaps it is a gift, which he sends me a beautiful vase, says Trump with a twinkle in his eye.
at the same time China, Japan and south Korea on Tuesday held a summit in the city of Chengdu to discuss the threat from north Korea.
After the meeting, they called upon the asian countries to the resumption of negotiations between the UNITED states and north Korea.
the Dialogue has been as good as non-existent, since the second summit between Trump and Kim Jong-un failed in the beginning of the year.
Japan’s prime minister, Shinzo Abe, says that close security cooperation with the UNITED states is “incredibly important” in the question of north Korea.
He condemns in the same token, North korea’s latest missiltest, which he calls “a serious threat” to regional security, writes the news agency Yonhap.
the north Koreans accuse the americans to drag the process on for far too long and in order not to meet north Korea and lift the sanctions.
