N.Korea told US it will export nuclear arms WASHINGTON, Wednesday (Reuters) North Korea threatened during talks in Beijing to export nuclear arms and to add to its arsenal, The Washington Times reported on Wednesday. Citing U.S. officials familiar with the talks, the newspaper's report said North Korea's negotiator, Li Gun, made the threat during a side meeting with U.S. Assistant Secretary of State James Kelly. Li, a North Korean Foreign Ministry official, told Kelly that Pyongyang will "export nuclear weapons, add to its current arsenal or test a nuclear device," one administration official told The Times. "This was clearly a threat," said another official described as being familiar with reports of the three-way talks among the United States, China and North Korea. |
