“We will not tolerate accusations from any of the countries regarding our defensive actions in response to the threats of the DPRK. Despite the lack of cooperation from the DPRK, the United States remains ready for dialogue and diplomacy,” Thomas-Greenfield said. “However, the US will not stand by while the DPRK directly threatens the United States, our allies, and the entire world.”
