Hillary Clinton and North Korea: A War of Words
North Korea and Secretary of State Hillary Clinton have launched a war of words. In a speech in Thailand, where she is attending a regional summit, Secretary Clinton urged North Korea to renounce nuclear weapons; North Korea’s official media responded by calling Clinton “an unintelligent funny lady.” North Korea also announced that the six-party talks on disarmament were dead. Jill McGivering, the BBC’s Asia correspondent, joins The Takeaway to explain what’s at stake.
