US VICE-president Mike Pence has threatened North Korea with an “overwhelming response” if Kim Jong-un uses nuclear weapons.
Donald Trump’s number two has issued the stark warning to Pyongyang during a visit to South Korea today.
During a trip to the Korean demilitarized zone (DMZ), Pence said “strategic patience” with North Korea is over.
His explosive comments come 24 hours after supreme leader Jong-un was humiliated by the embarrassing failure of a missile test.
