Policy on North Korea

SIR – Is the muted criticism in the West of America’s response to Kim Jongun’s actions and threats evidence of tacit acknowledgment that only the United States, of Western nations, has the power to respond effectively to North Korea? Is the West shielded by the umbrella of the United States?

It would be instructive for British voters to know what Jeremy Corbyn’s policy is on the proper response from the West should there be an attack using nuclear weapons by North Korea upon Guam.

Indeed, what is the European Union’s policy in such an event? Sebastian Neville-clarke
