North Korea’s Leader Says He’ll Only Use Nuclear Weapons If Another Country Attacks First With It

North Korean dictator Kim Jong-Un has said he will not be the first to push the red button, and will only use nuclear weapons if an attacking enemy does first.

Speaking to thousands of delegates at the North Korea Workers’ Party congress this weekend, Kim said his country is a responsible’ nuclear weapons state, that ‘will not use nuclear weapons first unless aggressive hostile forces use nuclear weapons’.

Kim also said he is ready to improve ties with ‘hostile’ nations in a diplomatic overture in the face of international pressure over its recent nuclear test and long-range rocket launch.
