STORYLINE
US Defence Secretary Robert Gates said in Seoul on Wednesday the United States will never accept a North Korea with atomic bombs, and that the impoverished regime poses serious destabilising threats.
"There should be no mistaking that we do not today, nor will we ever, accept a North Korea with nuclear weapons," Gates told a group of American and South Korean troops at the US military headquarters in central Seoul.
He said the US is firmly committed to providing South Korea with deterrence against those threats "with the full range of military might, from the nuclear umbrella to conventional strike and missile defence capabilities."
Gates arrived in Seoul on Wednesday for a two-day visit for annual defence ministers' talks with South Korea after a stop in Tokyo.
Top US commander, Chairman of the US Joint Chiefs of Staff Admiral Mike Mullen, was also in Seoul to attend the meeting and held talks with South Korean officials on Wednesday, Yonhap reported.
