N. Korea Says US Will Pay for Provocative Actions Against Regime

Pyongyang has lashed out at the U.S.' re-listing of North Korea as a state sponsor of terrorism as well as its new round of sanctions on North Korean and Chinese entities.
 
In an interview published Wednesday, a North Korean foreign ministry spokesperson told the North's state-run Korean Central News Agency that the designation had been made as a "means to crush independent nations that do not submit" to Washington. 

The spokesperson said the North's nuclear arms are a deterrence to protect the nation's right to existence and progress as an independent state against Washington's anti-North Korea policy.
 
The spokesman vowed that Pyongyang will strengthen its force of deterrence as long as Washington continues its hostile actions against the North.
 
On Monday, President Donald Trump announced that North Korea was put back on Washington's list of state sponsors of terrorism for the first time in nine years.
