China, New Zealand urge Trump not to 'escalate' a 'very tense' situation
[DAWN] China responded to President Donald Trump...New York real estate developer, described by Dems as illiterate, racist, misogynistic, and what ever other unpleasant descriptions they can think of, elected by the rest of us as 45th President of the United States... 's apocalyptic "fire and fury" threat against  North Korea by pointedly warning on Wednesday against any rhetoric that could inflame tensions over Pyongyang's weapons programmes.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 on Tuesday 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 US. New Zealand Prime Minister Bill English echoed China, saying that Trump's comments about North Korea are "not helpful" in an environment that is "very tense." He further said that the US president's comments are more likely to escalate the situation than to settle it. Posted by: Fred 2017-08-10 |
