President Moon says he is confident U.S. will respond “calmly” to North Korea

President says while negotiations may be "painful and tardy," war is not an option

South Korean President Moon Jae-in said on Monday he is “confident” that the U.S. will respond “calmly and responsibly” to the ongoing situation on the Korean peninsula.

A Blue House spokesperson said Moon, speaking with his cabinet, insisted that the U.S. stance was “not different” from South Korea's and that the North Korean nuclear issue “should be resolved in a peaceful way.”
