US President Donald Trump has followed up his incendiary warning to North Korea against threatening the US, with a boast about the strength of America’s nuclear arsenal, although he expressed hope it would not need to be used.
Key points:
- Mr Trump says there will never be a time the US is not the world’s most powerful nation
- Secretary of State plays down Mr Trump’s remarks as “a strong message”
- Pentagon chief issues warning that North’s actions could “lead to end of its regime”
The latest comments regarding the US’ military arsenal came after North Korea said it was considering plans for a missile strike on the US Pacific territory of Guam, which in turn followed Mr Trump’s earlier comments that any North Korean threat to the United States would be met with “fire and fury”.
“My first order as President was to renovate and modernise our nuclear arsenal. It is now far stronger and more powerful than ever before,” Mr Trump tweeted.
