PYONGYANG, North Korea (AP) -- The Latest on tensions on the Korean Peninsula (all times local):
8:40 p.m.
A senior Russian lawmaker says
the U.S. is a greater threat to global peace than North Korea.
Konstantin Kosachev, the head of the Foreign Affairs Committee in the upper house of Russian parliament, said Friday "the most alarming thing about the current U.S. administration is that
you can't be sure if it is bluffing or really going to implement its threats."
He says "
America objectively poses a greater threat to peace than North Korea," adding that "the entire world is scared and left guessing if it strikes or not."
Kosachev says there is a "small hope" that President Donald Trump's administration would listen to
warnings from Russia and China not to use military force against nuclear-armed Pyongyang.
