North Korea should be “careful” about threatening Donald Trump’s United States, former Senator Joe Lieberman has warned.
Speaking to Fox Business about President Trump’s tweets about Kim Jong-un, he said: “Well it was so unconventional that I must say it jolted me.
“On the other hand, if you step back, and I’m trying to put it in the best light, he was essentially saying to Kim Jong-un, ‘Don’t think you’re going to intimidate the United States of America’.”
The politician pointed out that it is still unclear whether North Korea has the full nuclear arsenal it claims to have.
He said: “First of all, we don’t even really know that you have missiles and nuclear weapons that you suggest you have.
“But we’re much more powerful than you and be careful about threatening us or playing with us.”
Mr Lieberman said the US and South Korea have taken on “good cop, bad cop” roles in the tense negotiations with Kim Jong-un.
He said: “It’s just possible that you’ve got a good cop, bad cop situation here, where we’re the bad cop and the South Koreans are the good cop.
“We’ve got Kim Jong-un nervous and maybe he’s going to begin to co-operate or at least lessen the tensions he’s creating but he’s a danger, the North Korean leader’s a danger.”
President Trump threatened North Korea with his “much bigger and more powerful” nuclear button following menacing undertones in Kim Jong-un’s speech on New Year’s Day.
Mr Trump wrote on Twitter: “North Korean Leader Kim Jong Un just stated that the ‘Nuclear Button is on his desk at all times.’
“Will someone from his depleted and food starved regime please inform him that I too have a Nuclear Button, but it is a much bigger & more powerful one than his, and my Button works!”
