The US President has not shied away from threatening the warmongering North Korean dictator on Twitter, previously saying he will “totally destroy” Kim Jong-un’s hermit kingdom.
Now a close personal aide has confirmed the Republican firebrand meant he was prepared for war when he claimed “only one thing will work” when dealing with North Korea.
On Saturday the President tweeted: “Presidents and their administrations have been talking to North Korea for 25 years, agreements made and massive amounts of money paid hasn’t worked, agreements violated before the ink was dry, makings fools of US negotiators.
“Sorry, but only one thing will work!”
Now in a clarification, Budget Director Mick Mulvaney has confirmed the President is ready for conflict on the Korean peninsula amid surging fears he and Kim Jong-Un could trigger World War 3.
Mr Mulvaney said: “I think what the president is clearly telegraphing, and this should not be news to anybody, is that military options are on the table with North Korea.
“They absolutely are.”
Washington’s Democrat representative Pramila Jayapal expressed her deep concern about President Trump’s latest tweets on Saturday, saying they “terrify” her.
She told CNN: “It is terrifying the country because I really don’t believe that Americans want the United States to go to war unnecessarily and they certainly don’t want us to be the bully in the schoolyard taunting North Korea to go to war with us.”
