In a letter believed to have been written by the vice director of the Pentagon’s Joint Staff, defence experts raised the prospect of war in the Korean peninsula as the only viable solution to ending the threat from Pyongyang.
The memo was written in response to a request from two Congress members asking for “expected casualty assessments in a conflict with North Korea”, the Washington Post reported.
It said the only way of definitely finding Kim’s weapons bases was by ground invasion.
Such an action would almost certainly inspire a catastrophic response from the dictator, who is known to also be harbouring a stockpile chemical and biological weapons.
The commander-in-chief touched down in Japan today, for the start of a 12-day trip to Asia where the Korean crisis is expected to dominate discussions.
He ramped up his rhetoric against Pyongyang leader Kim almost immediately, telling soldiers at the Yokota Air Base near Tokyo: “No dictator, no regime, no nation should ever underestimate American resolve.
“Every once in a while, in the past, they underestimated us. It was not pleasant for them, was it?”
North Korea responded to Trump’s arrival in Asia with a threat of their own, saying the US President will receive “merciless punishment” for his “foolish remarks”.
