Trump wary of major major conflict with north korea as un meets
A timely topic!
Yes, as the United Nations General Assembly (UNGA) met on September 24, 2018, President Donald Trump expressed his concerns about the possibility of a major conflict with North Korea. This comes as tensions between the two countries have been escalating in recent months, with North Korea conducting a series of missile tests and the US and its allies conducting military exercises in the region.
In a speech to the UN General Assembly, Trump warned that the US would "totally destroy" North Korea if it threatened the US or its allies, but also expressed his desire to avoid a major conflict. He emphasized that the US was willing to work with North Korea to achieve a peaceful resolution, but that the US would not be intimidated by North Korea's nuclear program.
Trump's comments were seen as a departure from his earlier rhetoric, which had been more confrontational and threatening towards North Korea. The speech was also seen as an attempt to reassure allies in the region, such as South Korea and Japan, that the US was committed to their security and would not abandon them in the face of North Korean aggression.
The UN General Assembly meeting was also attended by North Korean leader Kim Jong-un, who delivered a speech in which he criticized the US and its allies for their "hostile policy" towards North Korea. Kim also reiterated North Korea's commitment to its nuclear program, which he said was necessary for the country's survival.
The meeting marked a significant moment in the ongoing standoff between the US and North Korea, and highlighted the challenges that lie ahead in achieving a peaceful resolution to the crisis.
