North Korea's response to President George W. Bush's 2001 threat to stop negotiations was to increase their nuclear weapons program, declaring that they needed nuclear weapons as a deterrent against the United States. This led to increased tensions between the two countries and a standoff that lasted for several years. North Korea's actions eventually led to international sanctions and condemnation.
