The Trump administration is reacting cautiously amid indications North Korea is poised to test another ballistic missile, possibly as soon as this week.
"I hope that does not happen. But if it does, we must bring even more measures to bear on the North Korean regime," U.S. Ambassador Nikki Haley told reporters at the United Nations. "The civilized world must remain united and vigilant against the rogue state's development of a nuclear arsenal. We will never accept a nuclear North Korea."
In response to recent threats, however, U.S. President Donald Trump was more forceful in a tweet Tuesday night:
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!
