We are categorically against proliferation of nuclear weapons.

We have every interest in seeing that the military use of nuclear power will be contained.

The greatest threat that the world faces is a nuclear Iran. A nuclear North Korea is already troubling enough.

North Korea has taught a great lesson to all the countries in the world, especially the rogue countries of dictatorships or whatever: if you don't want to be invaded by America, get some nuclear weapons.

It's very certain that North Korea is developing nuclear weapons for offensive purposes. They don't need nuclear weapons to defend their own country.

If we are to assume that North Korea becomes a nuclear-power state, of course the danger of having an all-out nuclear war, that possibility is very slim.

North Korea is going to get away with keeping its nuclear weapons.

The United States must not allow North Korea to exacerbate tensions between our key strategic allies in Asia. As the leader of the free world, the United States needs to support our regional allies who are standing up to a Stalinist regime that is intent on developing nuclear weapons.

It's Russia some people would like to get rid of. They are still afraid of our nuclear deterrent. We have our own foreign policy whether they like it or not.

It would be our policy to use nuclear weapons wherever we felt it necessary to protect our forces and achieve our objectives.
