DPRK warns US to face worse consequences after US calls Pyongyang "threat" May 02, 2021, 13:35 The Democratic People's Republic of Korea (DPRK) warned on Sunday that the United States "will face worse and worse crisis" after US President Joe Biden called the DPRK's nuclear program a "serious threat," reported the official Korean Central News Agency (KCNA). Kwon Jong Gun, director general of the Department of US Affairs of the Foreign Ministry, said in a statement released by the KCNA that the US president made a slip of the tongue last week about the DPRK in his first Congressional speech in which he called Pyongyang a "serious threat" to the security of the United States and the world.
