Biden warns North Korea that nuclear attack on U.S., allies would be 'end of whatever regime'

President Biden on Wednesday issued a stern warning to North Korea, saying any nuclear attack on the U.S. or its allies would result in "the end of whatever regime" launched the strike as he sought to emphasize his administration's nuclear deterrence alliance with South Korea.

“Look, a nuclear attack by North Korea against the United States or its allies or partisans — partners — is unacceptable and would result in the end of whatever regime were to take such an action,” Mr. BIden said at a press conference with South Korean President Yoon Suk Yeol from the White House Rose Garden.

Mr. Biden’s comments came just hours after the two leaders announced the Washington Declaration, an agreement between the U.S. and South Korea to deter further North Korea’s nuclear ambitions.
