WASHINGTON, United States \u2014 US President Donald Trump took a moment at the White House Easter egg roll Monday to deliver a terse message to North Korean leader Kim Jong-Un: \u201cGot to behave.\u201d
Trump made the off-the-cuff comment to a CNN reporter after kicking off the 139th annual Easter egg roll with First Lady Melania Trump.
\u201cAny message for North Korea, sir, Kim Jong-Un?\u201d
\u201cGot to behave, \u201d said Trump.
The warning came after a tense weekend during which North Korea celebrated the birthdate of the regime\u2019s founder Kim Il-Sung with a massive military parade highlighting its growing missile capabilities.
But a missile test-launched on Sunday exploded shortly after takeoff, and a widely anticipated sixth nuclear test never materialized.
US Vice President Mike Pence was in Seoul, South Korea Monday where he warned the North not to test Trump\u2019s resolve, adding \u201call options are on the table.\u201d
Pence also declared that the era of US \u201cstrategic patience\u201d in dealing with the North was over, after more than two decades.
US concerns have mounted amid signs of progress in Pyongyang\u2019s efforts to develop an intercontinental ballistic missile capable of landing a nuclear warhead on the US mainland. CBB<\/p>\n
