Kim Jong-un could spark World War 3 in 'nine months' - expert

LONDON – 2 December 2017: North Korea's leader Kim Jong-un could spark a "global conflict", an expert has warned.

Speaking to Daily Express, Gordon Chang said 2018 could see a world war break out as US President Donald Trump aims to pressure the North Korean leader.

"North Korea will be dangerous in about nine months or so because then two things are going to happen at the same time," Chang said. 

"First thing, President Trump's strangulation campaign, to cut off money flows to North Korea will actually have a great effect on the regime." 

"We are already seeing signs of problems, of cashflow problems in North Korea," he noted.
