Trump issues more cryptic threats to North Korea – in tweets
North Korean leader Kim Jong-un called UN sanctions against Pyongyang “cooked up” by the US “to completely stifle” his country’s right to existence and development
US President Donald Trump has again hinted at military action against North Korea, keeping alive tensions with the isolated nation and distancing himself further from his top aides who favour diplomacy.
“Only one thing will work” in dealing with nuclear-armed North Korea, the president wrote on Sunday morning Hong Kong time in a Twitter post, without clarifying what he meant.
“Presidents and their administrations have been talking to North Korea for 25 years, agreements made and massive amounts of money paid,” he said.
It was not clear what money he meant.
That approach, he wrote in a follow-up post, “hasn’t worked, agreements violated before the ink was dry, makings fools of US negotiators. Sorry, but only one thing will work!”
