Tensions rising between North Korea and USA

Jonavon Clark, Staff Writer

Tensions have been rising between the USA and North Korea because of basic training exercises that have been taking place outside of the demilitarized zone near Pyongyang. There has also been a rising conspiracy that U.S. soldiers and South Korean soldiers are planning to overthrow the capital and assassinate the nation’s leader, Kim Jong Un.

Most of the training exercises have been conducted by both U.S. troops and South Korean troops. These training exercises have been taking place outside of the demilitarization zone near a city called Pyongyang. The purpose of these training exercises is unclear, but some people believe that the U.S. is using these exercises to get in closer and observe the city, which is known for producing nuclear weapons and missiles.

This matter was addressed by Han Song Ryol, the director-general of U.S. affairs, who stated that the U.S. has “crossed the red line.” Ryol stated that any further activity near Pyongyang or outside of the demilitarization zone will result in total war against the U.S. and the troops stationed in South Korea. He also stated that he would not stop the production of any nuclear weapons or missiles in the city of Pyongyang.

When this matter was addressed to Donald Trump, he responded with a series of statements claiming to know what to do about the matter. “The U.S. should pressure China into getting North Korea under control,” he stated to the interviewer at Fox & Friends. He also stated that he wanted China to control North Korea and intended to do nothing about the current problems happening there now.

With tensions rising, the U.S. must stay on edge in case of a declaration of war from North Korea.
