BREAKING: North Korea army says it has final approval for nuclear attack on U.S. – DJ
— CNBC (@CNBC) April 3, 2013
From CNBC’s Twitter account: “BREAKING: North Korea army says it has final approval for nuclear attack on U.S. – DJ.” That, as they say, isn’t good.
U.S. Defense Secretary Chuck Hagel said the U.S. sees a “real and clear” danger from North Korea. The U.S. is preparing to deploy an advanced missile defense system to Guam to defend American military bases in the Pacific.
We are doing everything we can, working with the Chinese, others, to defuse that situation on the peninsula,
North Korea on Wednesday closed access to a joint factory zone that earns $2 billion a year in trade for the impoverished state but will allow hundreds of South Koreans to return home, officials said, allaying fears they could have been held hostage.
Factories in the Kaesong Industrial Park were still believed to be operating, but North Korea’s decision to block entry is a further sign of the growing tensions on the Korean peninsula. On Tuesday, Pyongyang said it would restart a mothballed nuclear reactor.
The industrial park has not formally stopped operations since it was inaugurated in August 2000 as part of efforts to improve ties between the two Koreas. It houses 123 companies and is staffed by 50,000 North Koreans and hundreds of South Korean business owners and managers.
On Tuesday, North Korea said it would restart its mothballed Yongbyon nuclear reactor with the aim of supplying plutonium for its nuclear weapons program and to generate electricity.
While there is skepticism that the young Kim will actually stage a military strike, his actions pose a major challenge to new South Korean President Park Geun-hye who took office just a week after the North’s Feb. 12 nuclear test.
