Trump Team Evaluating a Response to North Korean Aggression

12 October 2017, 11:00

Donald Trump says his attitude is "the one that matters" when it comes to resolving the impasse over North Korea's nuclear weapons program.

Kim Jong Un, like his father and grandfather, became dictator of North Korea.

"Ultimately, I will do what is right for the United States and really, what is right for the world".

Ri said North Korea is nearing its goal to achieve full nuclear capability to counter any US threat, calling it the "real balance of power with the United States" and describing the weapons as a "sword of justice".

Mr Ri also said the North's nuclear programme is a "precious fruition of the Korean people's bloody struggle for defending the destiny and sovereignty of the country from the protracted nuclear threat of the U.S. imperialists and a treasured sword of justice".

The poll found that 65 percent of Americans think Trump's comments have made the situation between the United States and North Korea worse, including 45 percent who think he's made the situation much worse. Because North Korea is really a world problem, that is beyond just the United States. However, the new commentary does not talk about attacking the United States, but instead on building up its own defenses.

Kim has stood by his goal to obtain full nuclear capability despite mounting economic sanctions by the U.N. Security Council to cripples its program.

Trump slammed more than two decades of US policy toward North Korea on Twitter on Monday, saying past action to quell the crisis "didn't work". In this case, revealing the location of the submarine equipped with twelve vertical launch tubes for Tomahawk cruise missiles, was likely to send a message to the North.

USA president Donald Trump has "lit the wick of war" with North Korea and his country will be made to pay with "a hail of fire", a Russian news agency quoted North Korea's foreign minister as saying on Wednesday.

"There's one thing that the U.S. Army can do, and that is you've got to be ready to ensure that we have military options that our President can employ if needed", Mattis said.

President Donald Trump was briefed October 10 by his national security team on "a range of options" to respond to North Korean aggression and threats.

Russian state news agency Tass says North Korea's foreign minister has described his nation's nuclear weapons as a "sword of justice". Even if North Korea presently had a nuclear arsenal capable of destroying all US major cities and military installations, it would not strike the first blow. No action by the North was observed during the 12-hour mission.
