US 'provocation' threatens peace, says North Korea

http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/world-asia-44021305

North Korea has warned the US about using "pressure and military threats" against it as the two countries prepare for a historic summit.

A Foreign Ministry official said the US was deliberately provoking the North by suggesting sanctions will not be lifted until it gives up nuclear weapons.

US President Donald Trump and North Korean leader Kim Jong-un are due to meet in the next few weeks.

It will be the first ever meeting between the two countries' leaders.

North and South Korean leaders agreed last month to denuclearise the region, at a border summit which came after months of warlike rhetoric from the North and Mr Trump.

Why do I think Trump is being played like a fiddle, because he's an idiot, thats why.

Every deal they had with the North Koreans, the North Koreans went back on.
