China warns against stoking Korea tensions after Trump ‘fire and fury’ threat
Add ToI as a Preferred Source on GoogleChina responds to US President Donald Trump’s apocalyptic “fire and fury” threat against North Korea by pointedly warning against any rhetoric that could inflame tensions over Pyongyang’s weapons programs.
Calling the situation on the Korean Peninsula “complicated and sensitive,” China’s foreign ministry issued a statement warning that parties involved in the impasse should avoid “words and actions that escalate the situation.”
The ministry had been asked to respond to Trump’s comment yesterday that North Korea would “be met with fire and fury like the world has never seen” if it did not refrain from further bellicose threats against the United States.
