Sebastian Gorka said the Republican billionaire had proved he “can act” with military might after the US ‘mother of all bombs’ against ISIS and cruise missiles in Syria.
Mr Trump has warned North Korea it will be “met with fire and fury” if the rogue state continues to threaten the US.
Speaking on the Today programme on BBC Radio 4, Mr Gorka added the Republican billionaire would take action where previous presidents Barack Obama and Bill Clinton had failed to.
Presenter Justin Webb asked: “You are saying Donald Trump is ready to act?”
Mr Gorka replied the president had been firm in his response and would “use any appropriate measures”.
He said: “I’m saying Donald Trump has been unequivocal. He will use any appropriate measures to protect the United States and its citizens.”
Asked if North Korea firing methods at the sea by Guam would lead to a military attack by the US, Mr Gorka added “We don’t telegraph our future scenarios and how we’re going to react.
“That’s how the Obama administration’s thought strategy worked, that’s not how it works.
