Hillary’s Tough Words to North Korea
On April 30, U.S. Secretary of State Hillary Clinton said that the United States has no plans to provide economic aid to North Korea, and that North Korea is digging itself a deeper and deeper hole.
Clinton said “We have absolutely no interest and no willingness on the part of this administration to give them any economic aid at all.”
On that day, Hillary Clinton was in senate hearings for a 100 million dollar aid budget for North Korea. She said that there should be such a budget, ready in the case that North Korea returns to the six-party talks and de-nuclearization, although now it seems the chance (of North Korea returning to talks) is unbelievably slim if not absolutely impossible.
On April 14, North Korea announced its retirement from the six-country talks, and a plan to resume nuclear facilities. North Korea's foreign ministry said in a statement issued on that 29th of April, that if the UN security council will not apologize for sanction measures against North Korea, the DPRK will develop nuclear testing again.
Clinton said that the USA. is very serious about trying to get North Korea to understand that its recent behavior is absolutely unacceptable.
Republican senator Sam Brownback said that the budget plan sends the wrong message to North Korea. If North Korea does not give up its nuclear program, sanctions against it shall be quickly reinstated.
