WASHINGTON – North Korean leader Kim Jong Un “should take heed” and stop the nuclear threats that could lead to the destruction of his people, Secretary of Defense Jim Mattis said Wednesday.
North Korea must “stand down its pursuit of nuclear weapons,” Mattis warned Wednesday in a prepared statement.
“The [North Korean] regime’s actions will continue to be grossly overmatched by ours and would lose any arms race or conflict if it initiates,” Mattis said.
