North Korea warns US of 'very grave situation' over Biden speech

Biden, in his first address to Congress, called North Korea and Iran's nuclear programs “a serious threat to America's security and world security

North Korea on Sunday warned the United States will face “a very grave situation” because President Joe Biden “made a big blunder” in his recent speech by calling the North a security threat and revealing his intent to maintain a hostile policy toward it. Last week, Biden, in his first address to Congress, called North Korea and Iran's nuclear programs “a serious threat to America's security and world security,” and said he'll work with allies to address those problems through diplomacy and stern deterrence. “His statement clearly reflects his intent to keep enforcing the hostile policy toward the DPRK as it had been done by the US for over half a century,” Kwon Jong Gun, a senior North Korean Foreign Ministry official, said in a statement.
