Biden warns North Korea nuclear attack would lead to 'end of' regime

Nuclear attack 'will result in the end of whatever regime were to take such an action,' says US president

WASHINGTON (AA) - President Joe Biden issued a grim warning to North Korea Wednesday, saying should Pyongyang launch a nuclear attack on the US or its partners, it would meet its "end."

"A nuclear attack by North Korea against the United States or its allies or our partners is unacceptable, and will result in the end of whatever regime were to take such an action," Biden said in the White House’s Rose Garden alongside South Korean President Yoon Suk Yeol.

The announcement comes as Washington and Seoul announced new bilateral steps known as the "Washington Declaration" intended to curb North Korea's nuclear and ballistic missile development.

Biden said the declaration is a "prudent step to reinforce" the nations' "extended deterrence" in response to North Korea's "escalatory behavior."
