Trump says US ‘totally prepared’ for potential North Korea threat
Add ToI as a Preferred Source on GoogleThe United States is “totally prepared” to respond to threats from Pyongyang, US President Donald Trump says in an interview, while also emphasizing his “exceptional relationship” with China’s leader.
“We’re so prepared like you wouldn’t believe,” Trump tells the Fox News program “Sunday Morning Futures” while discussing tensions with North Korea, which have soared over Pyongyang’s nuclear program.
“You would be shocked to see how totally prepared we are if we need to be,” says Trump, who has in recent months engaged in a fiery verbal tit-for-tat with North Korea’s leader.
“Would it be nice not to do that? The answer is yes,” Trump goes on, appearing to allude to potential conflict. “Will that happen? Who knows.”
