"It's important to make clear to the DPRK that its escalatory behavior has consequences. The DPRK must also understand that the only viable path forward is through diplomacy," Sung Kim said, adding that any nuclear attack against South Korea would be met with a "swift, overwhelming and decisive" response.The United States is open to dialogue with Pyongyang and "remains committed to diplomacy," Sung Kim noted.
