Barack Obama has issued a stark warning to North Korean despot Kim Jong-un over his nuclear ambitions, declaring that the United States and South Korea stand 'shoulder to shoulder' against him.

The U.S. president said it may be time to consider further sanctions against North Korea 'that have even more bite' as the country is threatening its fourth nuclear test.He made the comments hours after North Korea made its feelings on his visit clear, sending two DPRK patrol boats into South Korean waters, violating the maritime border and forcing its neighbour to respond with a series of warning shots. 

Finally the vessels withdrew.Addressing a joint news conference alongside South Korean President Park Geun-hye, Obama said threats by North Korea will get it 'nothing except further isolation' from the global community.
