Obama National Security adviser Tom Donilon told a meeting of the Asia Society in New York the claims may be “hyperbolic.” He said the United States will protect its allies if Pyongyang uses any weapons of mass destruction or transfers nuclear materials.
Donilon also said Obama will meet with newly inaugurated South Korean President Park Geun-hye at the White House in May.
“White House press secretary Jay Carney responded that Pyongyang will achieve nothing with threats.” Well Jay, North Korea got your attention. China might not able to restraint them. A meeting with newly inaugurated South Korean President Guen-hye in May is too far away. It ought to get bumped up to the first week in April, if the calendar for March is all filled out.
