House Intelligence Committee Chair Mike Turner has suggested that the United States should consider taking direct military action if North Korean troops enter Ukraine. This follows reports that thousands of North Korean soldiers are currently in Russia. Turner, a key Republican and powerful committee chairman, emphasized that the involvement of North Korean troops in the conflict should prompt serious consideration of military measures by the U.S. His comments, made on October 23, 2024, are the strongest yet from a U.S. politician on this issue. The Biden administration is urged to consider military measures if the presence of North Korean troops is confirmed.
