US backs UK over North Korea threat
AMERICA stands shoulder to shoulder with the UK in tackling the growing threat from North Korea, says the US Secretary of Defence.
General Jim Mattis told British counterpart Gavin Williamson in London that the two countries are “united in condemning North Korea’s aggressive provocation” and violation of international law as well as the threat from Russia.
He added: “Together, we send a message of transatlantic resolve.
“For many years, Britain has galvanised the international community through the power of its moral voice, and today I look forward to strengthening that special relationship.”
He called our Armed Forces a “national treasure” which the US respects.
