North Korea said it would respond "with super strength in accordance with the principle of 'nuclear to nuclear, head-to-head confrontation to any nuclear attempt' by the United States."

"We are not interested in any contact or dialogue with the United States as long as the United States pursues a policy of hostility and confrontation," he said.

A spokesman for North Korea's foreign ministry said in a statement announced through the Chosun Central News Agency, referring to US Defense Secretary Austin's statement that "we will deploy more strategic assets" at a recent South Korea-US defense ministers' meeting.

North Korea said it "has a clear response strategy that can cope with any scenario the United States and its followers are contemplating" and "will strongly control and manage current and potential challenges with the most overwhelming nuclear capabilities." .

In addition, he argued that if the US continues to deploy strategic assets on the Korean Peninsula and the surrounding area, "according to its nature, the corresponding containment activities will be made more explicit."

North Korea claimed that the United States was trying to gain time by advocating dialogue with North Korea under the deceptive sign that it had no hostile intentions while pursuing a hostile policy toward North Korea.
