Any use of nuclear weapons by North Korea will be met with
an "effective and overwhelming" response, US defence minister Jim
Mattis has said.
He made the warning in Seoul during an appearance with his
South Korean counterpart, Han Min Koo.
"North Korea continues to launch missiles, develop its
nuclear weapons programme, and engage in threatening rhetoric and
behaviour," Mr Mattis said.
"We stand with our peace-loving Republic of Korea ally
to maintain stability on the peninsula and in the region.
"America's commitments to defending our allies and to
upholding our extended deterrence guarantees remain ironclad.
