U.S has unilaterally dismissed China's latest proposal on North Korea that called on the U.S and South Korea to stop their joint military exercises in exchange of Pyongyang halting its controversial nuclear program. The U.S quipped that comparing both the deals is like comparing 'apples and oranges.'

"What we're doing in terms of our defence co-operation with South Korea is in no way comparable to the blatant disregard that North Korea has shown with respect to international law," said U.S. state department spokesman Mark Toner.         

Instead of settling for a bargain, he said the US needed to look for new strategies to deal with the North Korea issue since all the previous efforts in this direction have fallen short.

The US ambassador to the UN, Nikki Haley, also re-asserted that the U.S government was "re-evaluating how to handle North Korea going forward" and assertively added that "all options were on the table."

She was speaking on the sidelines of U.N Security Council's emergency meeting on Wednesday that was called in response to Pyongyang's series of missile tests that were conducted earlier this week. Haley was especially critical about North Korea's supreme leader Kim Jong-un.   

"We are not dealing with a rational person," Haley told reporters. "It is an unbelievable, irresponsible arrogance that we are seeing coming out of Kim Jong-un at this time." She also reassured China that the deployment of THAAD missile in the Korean peninsula won't pose any security threat to the Asian giant.  

China's Foreign Minister Proposed Latest North Korea Proposal

China's proposal on North Korea's missile program came from its Foreign Minister Wang Yi, who was evidently frustrated over its communist ally's latest missile tests. Wang compared North Korea and the U.S tussle with the classic 'colliding train situation,' claiming that if neither parties budged the trains will most certainly collide to result in undesirable situation.

"Are the two sides really ready for a head-on collision? Our priority now is to flash the red light and apply the brakes on both trains," he added.

The latest North Korea conundrum started after the reclusive communist state test fired four ballistic missiles towards the Sea of Japan on Monday. The tests expectedly drew widespread criticisms from the international community, which was already aghast over another missile test that was conducted barely a month earlier.

Meanwhile, the U.S and South Korea have completed almost all the formalities for deploying the THAAD missile near the North Korean border. The impending deployment of the anti-U.S missile system has already set stage for fresh tensions in the Korean peninsula.
