“Something will have to be done about it, ” Trump says vaguely about responding to North Korea’s nuclear test.
President Donald Trump on Thursday threatened “some pretty severe things” against the North Korean regime for its nuclear test earlier this week, without offering any specifics while saying “something will have to be done about it.”
“We’ ll see what happens. I don’ t like to talk about what we have planned, but I have some pretty severe things that we’ re thinking about, ” Trump said during a joint press conference with Polish President Andrzej Duda in Warsaw. “They are behaving in a very, very dangerous manner.”
“We’ ll just take a look at what happens over the coming weeks and months, ” Trump added, without providing any details.
North Korea on Monday conducted a successful test of an intercontinental ballistic missile (ICBM) , a weapon capable of reaching as far as Alaska, escalating already dire diplomatic tensions.
Over the last few days, Trump tweeted several tirades complaining about what he perceived as insufficient diplomacy toward North Korea, singling out China, its only ally, for not enacting strict economic punishments.
