US President Donald Trump said on Thursday a major conflict with North Korea is possible in the standoff over its nuclear and missile programs, but he would prefer a diplomatic outcome to the dispute.
‘There is a chance that we could end up having a major, major conflict with North Korea. Absolutely,’ Trump said ahead of his 100th day in office on Saturday.
Nonetheless, he said he wanted to peacefully resolve the crisis, a path that he and his administration are emphasizing by preparing a variety of new economic sanctions while not taking the military option off the table.
‘We’d love to solve things diplomatically but it’s very difficult,’ he said.
