BEIJING - North Korea said Wednesday that it will take "prompt corresponding actions at any level" if the United States uses its military might.
"One thing I would like to make clear is that the use of armed forces is not the privilege of the U.S. only," Pak Jong Chon, chief of the General Staff of the Korean People's Army, said in a statement carried by the state-run Korean Central News Agency.
U.S. President Donald Trump on Tuesday hinted at using his country's military might against North Korea if necessary, after Pyongyang again urged Washington not to ignore its year-end deadline for denuclearization negotiations.
