Trump defends North Korea's right to nuclear weapons
Original: Trump defends North Korea's right to have nuclear weapons
Donald Trump has defended North Korea's right to possess nuclear weapons, according to reports carried by Australian outlets including the Sydney Morning Herald and The Age. The comments, attributed to the US president, mark a striking departure from longstanding American policy that has sought to prevent Pyongyang from developing or retaining a nuclear arsenal, and are drawing international attention.
Why now: A US president appearing to endorse a hostile state's nuclear arsenal contradicts decades of American non-proliferation policy.
