Amid growing tension between the United States and North Korea, the mayor of Nagasaki, Japan, said Wednesday at a ceremony marking the 72nd anniversary of the U.S. atomic bombing of his city that the fear of another nuclear attack is growing.
Nagasaki Mayor Tomihisa Taue urged nuclear states to abandon such weapons and criticized Japan's government for not taking part in the global effort toward a nuclear ban.
The bombing anniversary comes just as Pyongyang and Washington are trading escalating threats. President Trump threatened North Korea with fire and fury and North Korea's military said Wednesday that it was examining its plans for attacking Guam.
