SEOUL, 20 May 2022, (TON): A South Korean lawmaker said “North Korea has completed preparations for a nuclear test and is seeking the best moment to carry it out.”
Lawmaker Ha Tae-keung told reporters “preparations for a nuclear test have been completed and they are only looking for the right time.”
The United States said earlier it believes there is a genuine possibility that North Korea could conduct a nuclear test while Biden is on his first trip as president to Asia.
Biden will arrive in Seoul late Friday for a series of summits.
National Security Adviser Jake Sullivan said “our intelligence does reflect the genuine possibility of nuclear-capable missile tests or a nuclear weapon test around the time of Biden’s trip.”
