North Korea on Sunday warned the United States will face “a very grave situation” because President Joe Biden “made a big blunder” in his recent speech by calling the North a security threat and revealing his intent to maintain a hostile policy towards it.

In his first address to Congress, Mr Biden last week called North Korea and Iran’s nuclear programmes “a serious threat to America’s security and world security” and said he would work with allies to address those problems through diplomacy and stern deterrence.
