This was stated to journalists by the Chairman of the joint chiefs of staff U.S. army General Joseph Dunford on the outcome of the international conference “Shangri-La dialogue” in Singapore.
“North Korea has already embarked on this path, and is now at the point when sooner or later it will have the ability to launch Intercontinental ballistic missiles”, – quotes the words of the commander, the press service of the Pentagon.
“We are concerned that they can use it together with nuclear weapons,” said Dunford.
As the General said, the international community understands the urgency of solving the question of missile and nuclear programs of Pyongyang.
