South Korean President Moon Jae-In called yesterday for calm in the standoff with North Korea, saying there should never be another war on the peninsula. Tensions have flared since US President Donald Trump, responding to the North's latest missile tests, warned it of "fire and fury like the world has never seen".
Moon, a left-leaning leader who has previously advocated dialogue with the North, urged it to "stop all provocations and hostile rhetoric immediately, instead of worsening the situation any further". He also indirectly urged the US to resolve the crisis peacefully. "I am confident that the US will respond to the current situation in a calm and responsible manner in line with our policy direction," Moon said. Moon yesterday also met General Joseph Dunford, chairman of the US Joint Chiefs of Staff, who is visiting Seoul as part of a trip, which will also include China and Japan.
