The claim that Joe Biden gave orders to adjust the US’s nuclear deterrence strategy has had a wide repercussion in North Korea, so much so that North Korea warned that it would further strengthen its nuclear capacity in response to this move.
“THE USA HAS TRANSFORMED ITS ALLIANCE STRUCTURE WITH ITS ‘SATELLITE COUNTRIES’ INTO A NUCLEAR-BASED MILITARY BLOCK”
According to the North Korean Central News Agency (KCNA), a statement from the Foreign Ministry accused Washington of transforming its alliance structure with “satellite countries” in the Asia-Pacific region, including South Korea and Japan, into a nuclear-based military bloc.
“WE WILL ELIMINATE ALL KINDS OF SECURITY PROBLEMS”
The statement said North Korea “will continue to strengthen its strategic power in every way and resolutely confront any nuclear threat, as it has always done, to control and eliminate any security problems that may arise from the US’s dangerous reorganization of its nuclear posture.”
The statement, which indicated that North Korea would continue to develop its nuclear power, included the following statements: “This is the most basic and legitimate application of the right of self-defense to ensure regional peace and security and to protect itself.”

BIDEN’S ‘NUCLEAR’ INSTRUCTION
The New York Times newspaper claimed that US President Joe Biden instructed the American military in March to reorganize the US’s nuclear deterrence strategy for the first time, focusing specifically on the rapid expansion of China’s nuclear technologies and weapons.
In the news, where it was noted that the White House did not explain Biden’s decision, it was claimed that the strategy called “Nuclear Tasking Guide” included plans to prepare for possible coordinated nuclear conflicts with Russia, China and North Korea. (AA)
