Strong Words Between Countries – level 1

15-08-2017 15:00

The UN has many rules for the country of North Korea. North Korea does not follow these rules. North Korea is making nuclear weapons. The UN does not want this. The UN puts more economic sanctions on North Korea.

North Korea’s government is upset. The government says that it will get revenge. It says that it will attack the USA. President Trump says that North Korea cannot say these things. He says that the USA can fight North Korea.

Difficult words: UN (the United Nations, an organisation that tries to keep peace in the world), economic sanctions (when a country has rules on what it can buy and sell), revenge (doing something bad to somebody after they did something bad to you).

You can watch the original video in the Level 3 section.
