Trump on North Korea: US military is locked and loaded

President Trump fired another warning shot at Pyongyang early Friday – declaring that US military options are “locked and loaded.”

The latest salvo comes a day after Trump ratcheted up his rhetoric against North Korea, which has threatened to launch four ballistic missiles into the ocean near the US territory of Guam in mid-August.

“Military solutions are now fully in place, locked and loaded, should North Korea act unwisely. Hopefully Kim Jong Un will find another path!” Trump tweeted.

On Thursday afternoon, Trump said that his off-the-cuff warning on Tuesday that North Korea would face “fire and fury like the world has never seen” if it kept threatening the US “wasn’t tough enough.”
