Kim Jong-un: button for nuclear weapons ready

seoul - The United States can never again start a war against North Korea, now that the country has the opportunity to reach the entire mainland of the US with nuclear weapons. The North Korean leader Kim Jong-un said on Monday in his New Year's speech on North Korean television.

'The entire United States is within reach of our nuclear weapons and the button is ready on my desk. That is not a threat, but a fact ', said Kim Jong-un.' We will only use the weapons if our security is at stake. '

Although the North Korean leader stressed the importance of reducing tensions in the region, he announced that the country will focus the current year on the production of nuclear warheads and ballistic missiles for 'deployability'.

Kim believes that both North and South Korea should do their best to create a peaceful environment on the Korean peninsula. He is considering sending a delegation to the Olympic Games in February in Pyeongchang in South Korea.

'The participation of North Korea in the Winter Games will be a good opportunity to show the unity of our people and we hope that the Games will be a success', he said. ' Diplomats from both countries must quickly discuss this possibility to talk''.

South Korean President Moon Jae-in had already said that North Korea's participation will contribute to the security of the Games of Pyeongchang. He had proposed last month that the governments in Seoul and Washington postpone large-scale military exercises until after the Games.
