North Korea said it will never negotiate away its nuclear weapons in the face of hostility, after the U.S. disclosed plans to bolster missile defenses against a potential attack by the totalitarian regime.
“The U.S. is seriously mistaken if it thinks that the DPRK had access to nukes as a bargaining chip,” the official Korean Central News Agency said on Sunday, March 17. North Korea has “no idea of negotiating with the U.S. unless it rolls back its hostile policy.”
The U.S. is taking several steps to bolster missile defenses and “stay ahead of the threat” posed by Iran and North Korea, Secretary of Defense Chuck Hagel told reporters March 15 at the Pentagon. The U.S. will add 14 interceptors to the 30 in its missile-defense system by fiscal 2017, he said.
Hagel’s announcement came as Deputy Defense Secretary Ashton Carter prepared to travel to Asia, with stops including South Korea.
