President Donald Trump branded Kim Jong-un ‘a madman with nukes’ during a phone call with Philippine leader Rodrigo Duterte.
Mr Trump also discussed the possibility of launching a nuclear strike on the North Korea regime using the two submarines he has stationed in the region.
The President did stress ‘we don’t want to do that’ and suggested Mr Duterte call Chinese leader Xi Jinping and pressure him into resolving the situation, but reiterated: ‘If China doesn’t do it, we will.’
At another point Mr Trump seemed to imply that North Korea has a nuclear warhead capable of being mounted on to a missile, and its failed missile tests are all that is holding back its weapons program.
While North Korea claimed in 2016 that it had successfully tested a warhead small enough to be mounted on a missile, this has not been verified.
Mr Trump said: ‘Well, he [Kim] has got the powder but he doesn’t have the delivery system. All his rockets are crashing, that’s the good news. But eventually when he gets that delivery system…’
