Days after Joe Biden described North Korea and other autocratic states as “serious threats” to the United States and to the world, the country warned of a “very grave situation” facing the two nuclear powers on Sunday.
The US president, in an address to a joint session of Congress on Wednesday, warned of the risks of North Korea’s nuclear programme and pledged to work alongside allies to address it — with diplomacy and stern difference.

Kwon Jong Gun, a senior North Korean Foreign Ministry official, continued by calling Mr Biden’s speech “a big blunder” that in time would create “a very grave situation” for the US.
