Trump: ‘Fire and fury’ warning ‘wasn’t tough enough’, North Korea should be ‘very, very nervous’

President Donald Trump has ratcheted up his rhetoric toward North Korea, saying it should be “very, very nervous” if it even thinks about attacking the United States or its allies.

His comments came after Pyongyang said it was making plans to fire missiles over Japan to land near the US Pacific territory of Guam.

Key points:

  • Donald Trump says Kim Jong-un has been pushing world around for a long time and North Korea better get its act together
  • North Korea says it’s planning a strike near Guam
  • Mr Trump has been meeting with national security advisers

“The people of our country are safe. Our allies are safe. And I will tell you this: North Korea better get their act together or they’re going to be in trouble like few nations ever have been in trouble in this world,” Mr Trump told reporters in New Jersey.

Far from toning down his words after saying on Tuesday that any threats by Pyongyang would be “met with fire and fury like the world has never seen”, Mr Trump said those remarks may have not gone far enough.
