Bush warns North Korea

SINGAPORE: U.S. President George W. Bush on Thursday warned N. Korea against any moves by it to "transfer ... nuclear weapons or materials ... to states or non-state entities."
Mr. Bush, who was delivering a foreign policy speech here, sought the cooperation of Asian powers to address this issue. He said any such transfer "would be considered a grave threat to the United States." Washington "would hold North Korea fully accountable for the consequences of such action." He said the regional nations too must send a message to this effect to N. Korea.
