I want peace through strength: Donald Trump
Seoul/Washington, Nov 8 (JEN): US President Donald Trump has said that he wants 'peace through strength', while addressing a meeting in South Korea on Wednesday.

"The U.S., under my administration, is completely rebuilding its military, and they're spending hundreds of billions of dollars to the newest and finest military equipment anywhere in the world, being built right now. I want peace through strength," the US President said.

Speaking about North Korea, Trump accused the nation of defying pacts and said, "The North Korean regime has pursued its nuclear & ballistic missile programs in defiance of every assurance, agreement, & commitment it has made to the U.S. and its allies. It's broken all of those commitments."

He also warned anyone against doubting US' resolution.

"Anyone who doubts the strength or determination of the U.S. should look to our past....and you will doubt it no longer," the US President said.

Ever since US President Donald Trump and North Korean leader Kim Jong-un's feud broke out in public, barbs have been exchanged almost regularly between the two nations.

The ongoing war of words has kept several countries on its toes, including the likes of South Korea, Japan, China and Russia.

While the US has blamed North Korea for violating international sanctions, the latter has shot back, holding America accountable for disrupting peace in the Korean peninsula.

Speaking on the same, Trump said on Wednesday, "Together, we dream of a Korea that is free, a peninsula that is safe, and families that are reunited once again."
