The North Korean Central News Agency said, “In April, the United States prepared the Washington Declaration – a programme of nuclear confrontation with the DPRK. They openly plan to discuss the issue of the use of nuclear weapons against our state at a meeting of the US-South Korean Nuclear Advisory Group.”

The Washington Declaration calls for the creation of a nuclear planning group to develop options for the use of weapons against North Korea. South Korea secured a US promise to promptly deploy ‘the entire force of the alliance’, including nuclear weapons, in the event of a nuclear attack by the DPRK.
