US president reiterates
his threats to Pyongyang as he prepares to visit five nations in eleven days on
regional tour
Donald Trump’s five-nation trip to Asia may take him
away from his battles with opponents and prosecutors
in Washington, but it will inject his volatile,
combative personality into the heart of the most dangerous nuclear standoff in
the world.
“We have one problem. That’s called North Korea,”
Trump said “I must tell you North
Korea’s a thing that I think we will solve and if we don’t solve it, it’s not going
to be very pleasant for them. It’s not going to be very pleasant for anybody.”
The
buildup has led to fears across the region that both sides could stumble into
war. Pyongyang’s greatest fear is of a “decapitation strike” that would seek to
kill Kim Jong-un and his top leadership before they have the chance to launch
either nuclear weapons or a conventional bombardment on Seoul and US bases in
the region.
