Last night the government of NK declared to the world they conducted a nuclear test; we're working to confirm.
The US condemns this provocative act and the international community will respond.
This was confirmed by talks I had with leaders of China, Japan and S. Korea. NK's actions are unacceptable. The regime remains the world's leading proliferator of nuclear technology.
Transfer of this material to non-state entities wuold be considered a threat by the US and we'd hold them fully accountable for such actions.
We're committed to diplomacy and we'll continue to protect ourselves and our interests. The US will meet the full range of our deterent and security commitments.
Are the French already shipping supplies to NK?
