On Monday, Secretary of State Antony Blinken held a press conference with South Korean Foreign Minister Park Jin. The two top diplomats took aim at North Korea.<\/p>\n<p>The US-South Korea and North Korea relations have been strained since Joe Biden took over the presidency. Biden has continued to order joint military drills between America and South Korea\u2019s military. This has garnered threats from Kim Jong-un\u2019s regime who have equated those exercises to declarations of war.<\/p>\n<p>Last week, Kim called to bolster the country\u2019s military while claiming the international sphere is a \u201caggravating environment.\u201d The rouge state has launched dozens of ballistic missile tests so far this year and US Intelligence officials warned another test of a nuclear weapon is on the horizon.<\/p>\n<p>Secretary Blinken stressed, if North Korea wants to be taken seriously by international leaders then it will have to gain favor through diplomacy.<\/p>\n<blockquote>\n<p><strong>\u201cA nuclear test would be dangerous, it would be deeply destabilizing to the region,\u201d stated the US official. \u201cIt would blatantly violate international law as set out in multiple United Nations Security Council resolutions, so we urge the DPRK to refrain from further destabilizing activity. We call on the DPRK to engage in serious and sustained diplomacy.\u201d<\/strong><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p>America\u2019s top diplomat went on to say North Koreans could be negatively affected if its government continues its path toward instability.<\/p>\n<blockquote>\n<p><strong>\u201cWe want to support the people of North Korea, including with COVID-19 vaccines,\u201d Blinken noted. \u201cIndeed, we have offered our help consistently throughout the pandemic and again during the awful surge that they are now enduring, which comes on top of severe economic and humanitarian crises. Our goal, simply put, is a peaceful and stable region and world. Until the regime in Pyongyang changes course, we will continue to keep the pressure on.\u201d<\/strong><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p>Meanwhile, State Department Deputy Secretary Wendy Sherman was sent to Vietnam to cement ties with Hanoi. Sherman touted the US has pledged nearly 20 million to help clean up any unexploded ordinances left over from the Vietnam war. Additionally, she promised to work with Vietnamese officials to combat illegal wildlife trafficking.<\/p>\n<div id=\"attachment_2722119\" class=\"wp-caption alignnone\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-2722119\" class=\"size-full wp-image-2722119\" src=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/06\/AP22164221541882.jpg\" alt=\"U.S. Deputy Secretary of State Wendy Sherman shakes hands with Vietnamese Foreign Minister Bui Thanh Son in Hanoi, Vietnam, on Monday, June 13, 2022.

The military leaders discussed modernizing Thailand\u2019s military in several areas, including cyber security and space technology.<\/p>\n<p>These discussions were met with the wrath of the Chinese Communist Party who has taken aim at the Biden administration for trying to turn leaders in the region against them. Chinese officials claim that along with engaging in diplomatic relations with Asian officials, the US is also making allegations that China wants to subjugate Taiwanese residents.<\/p>\n<blockquote>\n<p><strong>\u201cThe US\u2019 remarks vilifying China will not fool the international community, but only compromise its own credibility,\u201d stated Chinese Foreign Ministry spokesperson, Wang Wenbin. \u201cWe urge the US to match its words with deeds, follow through on its commitment not to seeking confrontation or conflict, not to seeking \u2018a new Cold War\u2019 or \u2018an Asian version of NATO\u2019 or forming antagonistic blocs in the region.\u201d<\/strong><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<div id=\"attachment_2305430\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-2305430\" class=\"size-full wp-image-2305430\" src=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/06\/cvhina.png\" alt=\"Chinese Foreign Ministry spokesman Wang Wenbin.
