Trump added that “military solutions are now fully in place” before asserting his hope that “Kim Jong Un will find another path!”
The Defence Secretary, James Mattis, has previously said that any conflict on the Korean peninsula would be “catastrophic” while encouraging diplomatic resolution.
Earlier this week, President Trump threatened to unleash “fire and fury like the world has never seen” on North Korea if the regime continued to threatened the US.
Military solutions are now fully in place,locked and loaded,should North Korea act unwisely. Hopefully Kim Jong Un will find another path!

With a full Premier League fixture list to enjoy – and a new episode of Game of Thrones – the Match of the Day host had the perfect reply.
Of course, we’re not trivialising the horrific potential that escalating hostilities between North Korea and the US can entail, but Linkeker’s response will certainly resonate with football fans that are happy to see the Premier League returning.
Would you mind waiting until after the opening weekend of the @premierleague season before starting a nuclear war? Cheers, football fans. https://t.co/yONuseEFJG
