Defense Secretary Ash Carter says North Korea's nuclear weapons capabilities and ballistic missile defense programs constitute a "serious threat" to the United States.
國防部長阿什·卡特表示,朝鮮的核武器和彈道導彈防御計劃對美國構成“嚴重威脅”。
He said the U.S. is prepared to shoot down a North Korean missile launch or test if it were coming towards American or allied territory.
他表示,如果朝鮮試射的導彈打到本土或盟國領土,美國準備將其擊落。
Carter said this after the secretive country accused the U.S. of having a 'hostile policy' towards North Korea.
卡特講話之前,這個神秘的國家指責美國對朝實施“敵對政策”。
The country has claimed it is ready to test-launch an intercontinental ballistic missile at any time, and at any location.

Over the past year North Korea has carried out missile launches, and has tested two nuclear weapons, most recently in September 2016.
