Donald Trump launches scathing attack on North Korea – 'Era of strategic patience is over'

During the speech, the President attacked Kim Jong-un and previous US regimes and emphasised a need for change in order to denuclearise the hermit kingdom. He said: "We are working to counter the dangerous aggressions of the regime in North Korea.

"The regime continues development of its unlawful weapons programmes including its illegal nuclear tests and outrageous launches of ballistic missiles directly over Japanese territory are a threat to the civilised world and international peace and stability.

"We will not stand for that, the era of strategic patience is over.

"Some people said that my rhetoric is very strong, but look what's happened with very weak rhetoric over the last 25 years, look where we are right now." Trump is currently on the second day of a 12-day Asian trip that is focusing on both trade and North Koreas nuclear missile programmes.

Abe told the same news conference that Japan backed Trumps stance that all options are on the table when it comes to North Korea, saying the two countries were 100 per cent together on the issue.

Earlier, Trump vowed to push for a free and balanced trade partnership with Japan after decades of massive trade deficits but said relations with close ally Tokyo were better than we have ever had.

Abe, at the start of a working lunch with Trump, offered his heartfelt condolences for the victims of a gunman who massacred at least 26 worshippers at a church in Texas.

White House spokeswoman Sarah Sanders said Trump, who earlier expressed grief for the victims, had no plans at this time to change the schedule for his 12-day Asian trip, which will also take him to Seoul, Beijing and Danang, Vietnam.

The increasingly aggressive rhetoric from the President comes as new reports have stated that North Korea is ready to carry out a nuclear test "at any time" as the country continues "active movement" around a missile research facility.

The National Intelligence Service (NIS), South Korea's spy agency, has given the chilling warning that the hermit kingdom is persisting with its efforts to start World War 3.

The NIS said: The North will carry out an additional nuclear test and continue to push for the development of miniaturised, diversified nuclear warheads." The South Korean agency stated that increased activity around a research facility in Pyongyang show that despot leader Kim Jong-un is gearing up to launch another world provocation for the first time since September.

WATCH: Trump Just Humiliated Obama, Look What He Did - Duration: 3:35.

The differences between President Trump and former President Obama are becoming more apparent.

According to The Daily Caller, when Obama visited with Japanese Emperor Akihito, he

bowed.

Yet when President Trump visited the emperor, he delivered a firm handshake.

According to Reuters, President Trump visited Japan for a number of issues.

He discussed defense options with Japanese Prime Minister Shinzo Abe regarding the two

missiles that were fired over the country's territory by North Korea.

Apparently, a deal was struck for Japan to purchase the means to shoot down the missiles

from the US.

According to Trump, "He (Abe) will shoot them out of the sky when he completes the

purchase of lots of additional military equipment from the United States.

The prime minister is going to be purchasing massive amounts of military equipment, as

he should.

And we make the best military equipment by far."

Currently, Japan's policy is to only shoot missiles that appear to be falling on Japanese

territory or is determined to be an "existential threat."

It's unclear if this policy will change in light of North Korean aggression.

President Trump was also in Japan to discuss economics.

In a public statement, President Trump said, "America is also committed to improving

our economic relationship with Japan.

As president, I'm committed to achieving fair, free, and reciprocal trading relationship.

We seek equal and reliable access for American exports to Japan's markets in order to eliminate

our chronic trade imbalances and deficits with Japan."

During his visit, he also met with the emperor in a meeting that has garnered a lot more

attention than it should for the etiquette shown and it's symbolic importance.

According to the Business Insider, bowing is customary in Japan as a sign of respect.

This is complicated by the fact that many in the US see bowing as a sign of weakness

and a handshake is preferred because it's seen as a sign of respect between equals.

Yet a handshake is complicated in this situation because Japanese royalty are customarily not

to be touched by guests.

Appeasing both US and Japanese customs in a greeting is essentially a paradox that US

presidents have long struggled with and been criticized for.

When former President Bill Clinton met with the emperor, he bowed with his hands together.

This was met with criticism from a White House official who stated: "Presidents don't

bow and Emperors don't toast."

Former President Obama decided to do a handshake while bowing, which was criticized for mixing

the customs and rejected by conservatives for showing weakness to a foreign dignitary.

It may not have been so bad had the emperor bowed back as an equal sign of respect, but

that was not the case.

President Trump's handshake will no doubt be seen as disrespectful by those on the Left

given he failed to customarily bow while the Right will see it as mutually respectful and

a greeting of equals.

Ultimately, the handshake was perhaps most appropriate.

Given that international dealings and the mixings of cultures and customs is becoming

more of a problem, the handshake is seen as the emerging customary greeting.

In the end, the emperor himself didn't seem bothered by the handshake and both he and

President Trump moved on to more important issues — which is ultimately what etiquette

critics should do.

DEMS POLITICIZE TEXAS CHURCH SHOOTING, PUSH FOR GUN CONTROL – TRUMP SHUTS THEM UP WITH 6 BRILLIANT - Duration: 5:07.

In the wake of the Texas church shooting, millions in our country have been struggling

for some sort of hope.

As men and women have offered their prayers, vocalized their support, and even offered

donations for the victims and their families, the Democrats have been planning something

far more sinister.

The left fully understands that in order to achieve their totalitarian state, they need

to take advantage of our emotions.

That's why every single time there's a mass shooting, public figures like Jimmy Kimmel

and politicians like Hillary Clinton begin churning out the crocodile tears and pleading

for gun control.

In fact, before the bodies were even cold from the Las Vegas Massacre, Clinton tweeted

out several pleas for more gun control.

Democrats always follow a very similar pattern, as we've just seen Democrat Senator Richard

Blumenthal push gun control not even a day after the Texas church shooting took place.

Thankfully, however, President Trump knows what all these buffoons are planning—he

fully understands how they think, how they work, and how they operate.

That's why he's just come out with six of the most brilliant words in response to

all of these teary-eyed Democrats, trying to take away our gun rights.

When President Trump was asked about US gun control, he immediately knew what to say.

"This isn't a guns situation.

This is a mental health problem at the highest level," Trump said, adding that it was "very,

very sad."

These aren't the words that shocked Americans, however—no, they were far better.

President Trump was certainly right in pointing out that the issue is mental health, and not

guns.

No matter how many lunatics make improvised napalm from gasoline and orange juice, or

create bombs out of garden fertilizer, or use cars to mow down pedestrians, liberals

STILL don't seem to understand what the real problem is.

Crazy people will find a way to harm others, plain and simple.

There isn't a gun problem, there isn't a rifle problem, a bump stock problem, a scope

problem, or an assault weapon problem.

There's a mental health problem—and it gets worse and worse each day as the liberal

media promotes violence against the right.

As the left continued politicizing the mass shooting however, President Trump came out

with six brilliant words that is absolutely shutting up liberals everywhere.

When asked what he would do to promote gun control in this country, President Trump looked

the audience dead in the eye and responded: "Fortunately…somebody else had a gun."

CNBC reports:

President Donald Trump said Monday he believed the Texas church shooting was caused by a

"mental health problem," and not because of a problem with domestic gun laws.

When asked whether U.S. gun control measures could have been the key to the Texas shooting,

Trump replied, "Mental health is your problem here."

"This isn't a guns situation," he said, before adding, "This is a mental health

problem at the highest level.

It's a very, very sad event."

At least 26 people were killed and about 20 others were wounded after a gunman opened

fire during a Sunday service at a Texas church.

The victims ranged in age from 5 to 72-years-old.

Speaking at a joint press conference in Tokyo, Japan, alongside Prime Minister Shinzo Abe,

Trump described the shooter as "a very deranged individual."

Trump — who has received political support from the National Rifle Association — has

consistently been against implementing more rigorous domestic gun control laws.

"Fortunately … somebody else had a gun that was shooting in the opposite direction,"

Trump said at the press conference.

Devin Patrick Kelley, 26, was identified by authorities as the gunman who killed more

than two dozen people in a hail of gunfire at a rural Texas church.

Law enforcement officials identified Kelley, who was killed following the incident at the

First Baptist Church in Sutherland Springs, hours after news of the shooting first broke.

The church's pastor and his wife lost their teenage daughter in the massacre, according

to a report by the Associated Press.

There it is—the one fact that liberals can never seem to understand.

They put all of their trust in police officers, SWAT team officials, and government leaders;

so much so, in fact, that they're willing to hand over all of their guns for these people

to have.

Yet, they always ignore one crucial fact: police don't stop a crime, they only respond

to one.

It's really that simple—if we want lunatics to be shut down before they can have the opportunity

we need to have more civilians armed on the spot, because after all, we all know that

the only thing that stops a bad guy with a gun…is a good guy with a gun.

Trump stuns Japan's Abe: Your economy 'not as good as OURS - and it will stay that way'

The US president was speaking in a press conference in Tokyo today, focused on cooperation between the allies in the face of growing concerns on North Korea. But Mr Trump broke from cordial rhetoric when comparing the two nations financially.

He said: "The Japanese people are thriving, your cities are vibrant and youve built one of the worlds most powerful economies. I dont know if its as good as ours, I think not.

And were going to try and keep it that way but youll be second.  .

Mr Trump continued by saying he wanted to correct a trade imbalance with Japan - actually the worlds third biggest economy - and urged the nation to buy more American military equipment.

He said: "America is also committed to improving our economic relationship with Japan. As president, Im committed to achieving fair, free, and reciprocal trading relationship.

We seek equal and reliable access for American exports to Japans markets in order to eliminate our chronic trade imbalances and deficits with Japan.    .

Mr Trump was talking with Prime Minister Abe on the first leg of his Asia tour, which will also see him head to China and South Korea.

The US president is on the second day of the 12-day Asian trip that is focusing on trade and North Koreas nuclear missile programmes. He said: "Most importantly, were working to counter the dangerous aggressions of the regime in North Korea.".

  Calling Pyongyangs nuclear tests and recent launches of ballistic missiles over Japan a threat to the civilized world and to international peace and stability", he added: Some people said that my rhetoric is very strong.

But look whats happened with very weak rhetoric over the last 25 years. Look where we are right now.".

He said that Japan would shoot North Korean missiles out of the sky after completing purchases of US military equipment. Mr Abe, for his part, said Tokyo would do so if necessary.

'Don't underestimate US' Trump ramps up pressure on North Korea - Duration: 2:46.

'Don't underestimate US' Trump ramps up pressure on North Korea

"We will never yield, never waver and never falter in defence of our freedom" Donald Trump The US president kicked off his 12-day Asian tour to present a united front with Japanese Prime Minister Shinzo Abe amid tensions with the hermit kingdom over its nuclear and missile tests.

Trump has rattled some allies with his vow to "totally destroy" North Korea if he threatens the US and his dismissal of tyrant Kim as a "rocket man" on a suicide mission.

Today the Donald told hundreds of US and Japanese troops "No dictator, no regime, no nation should ever underestimate American resolve". He added: "Every once in a while, in the past, they underestimated us. It was not pleasant for them, was it?".

Pyongyang has put the US and its allies on high alert after it fired several missiles over Japan, which prompted Trump to step up military drills in the region.

Recently the US sent two strategic bombers over South Korea, which further raised tensions with the secretive North.

Trump said: "We will never yield, never waver and never falter in defence of our freedom." On Air Force One he added that a decision would be made soon on whether to add North Korea to a list of state sponsors of terrorism.

Pyongyang is known to have developed strong ties with Iran, which the US claims exports terrorists and funds radical Islamic jihadis across the Middle East.

Trump said he wanted his government to take a different approach to dealing with issues after years of what he called "total weakness". He added: "We want to get it solved.

It's a big problem for our country and the world, and we want to get it solved.".

Trump arrives on North Korea's doorstep as tensions reach breaking point - DAILY NEWS - Duration: 2:22.

Trump arrives on North Korea's doorstep as tensions reach breaking point

US President Donald Trump is now in Kim Jong-un's crosshairs after he landed in South Korea

earlier today as part of his grand tour of Asia.

The Donald will sit down with South Korean President Moon Jae-in as the tyrant to the

North watches on.

Experts have warned that Kim could fire a nuke in a blatant taunt designed to goad Trump

into acting rashly.

But the President has remained calm so far and played down any threats made by the North

Korean brute.

He said: "There is great cooperation.

We have a terrific meeting scheduled on trade in little while with President Moon and his

representatives.

"And hopefully that will start working out and working out so that we can create a lot

of jobs in the United States, which is one of the reasons that I'm here."

President Moon met Trump before he visited the huge Camp Humphreys military base in Pyeongtaek

– some 60 miles from the border with the secretive North.

The US supremo is expected to discuss how best to contain the menacing Kim regime during

his visit to South Korea.

Kim has cast the spectre of nuclear war over the Korean Peninsula following a series of

reckless nuke and missile tests this year.

But the Donald has piled the pressure on Pyongyang after ordering several military drills with

Kim's most hated enemies.

The latest exercise involved the US Navy carrier the USS Ronald Reagan, a Japanese destroyer

and two Indian warships in the Sea of Japan.

Japan's Maritime Self Defence Force said in a statement: "The exercise helped improve

fighting skills and deepened cooperation with India."

Donald Trump will jet off to China, Vietnam and the Philippines following his stop in

South Korea.

Trump SHOCKS WORLD after saying he would sit down with North Korean leader to halt WW3

The extraordinary comments come as Trump kicked off his five-nation Asia tour in Japan on Sunday. He said: "I don't think it's strength or weakness, I think sitting down with people is not a bad thing.

"So, I would certainly be open to doing that (sitting down with Kim) but we'll see where it goes." The US president did admit, however, that he would not open talks with Kim anytime in the near future.

"I would certainly be open to doing that" Donald Trump Trump added: "I think we're far too early." His tone differs sharply with the more hotheaded remarks he made over the weekend.

The self-proclaimed deal-maker told troops at Yokota airbase near Tokyo that Kim should not "underestimate the US". He said: "No one, no dictator, no regime, no nation should underestimate American resolve.

"Every once in a while, in the past, they underestimated us.

It was not pleasant for them, was it?" Trump's harsh comments come after Pyongyang put the US and its allies on high alert after it fired several missiles over Japan, which prompted the US president to step up military drills in the region.

Recently the US sent two strategic bombers over South Korea, which further raised tensions with the secretive North. Daily Star Online revealed the monstrous arsenal at Trump's fingertips as he faces down North Korea.

It is estimated that 80,000 soldiers are at the ready to take out Kim if needed.

Donald Trump warns US will 'decide soon' on re-listing North Korea as TERROR SPONSOR - Duration: 3:54.

Donald Trump warns US will 'decide soon' on re-listing North Korea as TERROR SPONSOR

Speaking on Air Force One has he flew to Japan to begin his 12-day tour of Asia, Mr Trump said a decision on adding the reclusive regime to the list would be made soon.

White House adviser HR McMaster had earlier revealed Washington was considering placing North Korea on the list alongside Iran, Sudan and Syria.

Mr McMaster said the killing of Kim Jong-un's half brother in a Malaysian airport earlier this year could lead to Pyongyang's placement.

Although Malaysia has never directly accused North Korea of the murder, South Koreas spy agency said the attack was part of a plot emanating from the highest levels of the rogue regime.

Mr McMaster said: "A regime who murders someone in a public airport using nerve agent, a despotic leader who murders his brother in that manner, thats clearly an act of terrorism that fits in with a range of other actions." He said: Youll hear more about that soon, I think.

It is something thats under consideration."  . Kim's half brother, Kim Jong-nam, died in February after two women rubbed his face with a liquid later identified as VX nerve agent as he passed through the airport in Kuala Lumpur.

North Korea was on Washington's terrorism blacklist for two decades after the 1987 bombing of a South Korean airliner that killed 115 people but was removed from the list by President George W Bush in 2008 as part of disarmament negotiations.

North Korea is already heavily sanctioned over its nuclear weapons programme, so designating it a state sponsor of terrorism would largely be symbolic.

Mr Trump told reporters his administration planned to take a different approach after years of what he termed total weakness" over North Korea. He said: "We want to get it solved.

Its a big problem for our country and the world, and we want to get it solved. In an apparent attempt to distinguish between the Pynongang leadership leadership and ordinary people, he said he thought North Koreans were great people. He said: "And I hope it all works out for everybody.  .

Mr Trump was speaking as his 12-day Asian tour got underway against a backdrop of heightened tensions over Pyongyangs nuclear and missile tests.

The President has rattled some allies with his vow to totally destroy North Korea if it threatens the United States and his dismissal of Kim as a rocket man on a suicide mission.

And a top aide said Mr Trump intended to tell Asian leaders the world is running out of time in dealing with the nuclear crisis on the Korean peninsula.

Trump Is Bringing A Big Surprise To North Korea, Sending Bold Message To Rocket Man - Duration: 4:24.

Throughout this week, President Donald Trump continues his visit to Asian countries.

As he meets with world leaders, business owners, and strategic allies, he is sending a strong

message to the rogue nation of North Korea.

The United States will no longer tolerate their aggressive and reckless behavior.

To back his stance, Trump has brought along a few friends, and North Korea is getting

a big surprise that will send a bold message to Rocket Man.

One of the biggest issues the President has focused on during this trip is what to do

with North Korea.

Every major nation in the region is concerned with the Communist dictatorship.

Kim Jong-un's constant missile testing and weapons development have democratic nations

like South Korea and Japan on edge.

The dictator has regularly promised to destroy his neighbors and to take on America next.

It's getting so bad, that even China is worried.

With President Trump present in Asia, allied nations can meet and make decisions regarding

North Korea.

Trump can see firsthand what's going on in the region, especially in contested waters.

It also means it is a prime opportunity for the United States to offer a show of strength

to North Korea.

Kim Jong-un and his military act aggressively, so only aggressive statements will get their

attention.

That's exactly what Trump has planned.

According to reports, Trump has brought with him an impressive arsenal of ships, planes,

and troops.

Enough to show our allies that we mean business and to intimidate the unhinged dictator Kim.

NORTH Korea is nearly totally surrounded by a wall of US warships, bombers and missiles

with more than 80,000 soldiers on alert as Donald Trump heads for Asia…

Three US aircraft carriers are currently operating in the Pacific in an colossal flex of Trump's

military biceps.

USS Nimitz, USS Theodore Roosevelt and USS Ronald Reagan became the first trio of carriers

to operate in the region for a decade.

Each of these three warship bring with it a fully stocked wing of up to 90 warplanes

and choppers.

While steaming alongside are their escorts of destroyers and submarines making up the

US's mighty carrier strike groups.

The US's 7th Fleet has its headquarters in Japan – and brings up to 70 ships and

submarines under its command, including 14 missile-packed destroyers.

[Source: Daily Star] Including troops in over 100 nearby island

bases and the U.S. soldiers in South Korea, there are over 80,000 servicemen ready for

actions.

That's not to mention the 300 tanks stationed just across the border, along with armored

vehicles and artillery.

You could say that this show of force is needed to ensure the safety of the American president,

and you'd be right.

The United States military is not neglecting the security concerns of the President, First

Lady, and accompanying staff.

However, you also have to consider the message President Trump is sending with such a powerful

amount of vehicles, weapons, and troops.

They are literally surrounding North Korea in a wall of military might.

This coincides with statements Trump made this Monday, while in Japan.

The time for "strategic patience" with North Korea is over, US President Donald Trump

warned Monday, after winning Japan's backing for his policy of considering all options

to rein in the rogue state…

"The era of strategic patience is over," he declared alongside his host, Japanese Prime

Minister Shinzo Abe.

[Source: Breitbart] By bringing an impressive array of the military

with him to the region, Trump is backing his words.

North Korea is not only hearing, but seeing just what the United States is capable of.

It is a powerful sign of what might happen, should North Korea attack or invade our allies

in the region.

They would be met with swift retaliation from our formidable Armed Forces.

Perhaps this will teach North Korea to back down, at least a little bit.

However, I won't hold my breath waiting for Kim Jong-un to come to his senses.

WORLD WAR 3: Most Americans 'think Donald Trump WILL use military force on North Korea' - Duration: 2:43.

WORLD WAR 3: Most Americans 'think Donald Trump WILL use military force on North Korea'

The data from the Pew Research Center revealed 84 per cent of Americans polled say they think Trump is "really willing" to use military force against the hermit kingdom.

88 percent of Republican respondents said they believed Trump would be willing to strike Kim Jong-Un, while 83 percent of Democrats said the same.

Those asked also demonstrated an increased concern about North Korea's willingness to bring war to the US following Kims sabre rattling.

Of those surveyed 71 percent said the US should take North Korea's nuclear threats "very seriously" – a 15-point increase from 2013. There was also strong disagreement along party lines over President Trump's ability to handle threats from North Korea.

Only nine per cent of Democrat and Democrat-leaning respondents said they were at least somewhat confident in Trump's ability to handle North Korea.

However, 80 percent of Republican and Republican-leaning respondents said they were confident in the President's ability to deal with the hermit kingdom.

The survey was conducted from October 25 to October 30, just days before the US President departed for his trip to Asia. During his 13-day tour of Asia, Trump will focus on North Korea and trade.

He will visit Japan, South Korea, China, Vietnam and the Philippines amid increased tensions across the pacific over North Koreas dangerous missile tests.

However he is not expected to visit the Demilitarised Zone – which borders south and North Korea – during the trip.

Earlier this week, the US President's national security adviser said the Trump administration is considering resisting North Korea as a state sponsor of terrorism.

N. Korea and trade deal to top agenda during Trump's stay in Seoul - Duration: 4:15.

Staying with Trump's 12-day 5-nation Asia tour.

Once in Korea, regional security and economic collaboration between Seoul and Washington

are expected to be the top issues for the two leaders to focus on.

Lee Unshin zooms in on the core discussion topics.

After their first meeting in June this year at the White House,... the leaders of South

Korea and the U.S. are having face-to-face talks once again -- this time, in Seoul.

(standup) It's been some 20 years since Mr. Trump last

traveled to the nation, and this is his first visit as the leader of the United States.

He comes at a pivotal time.

With North Korea's missile program entering an unprecedented stage, and tensions threatening

regional security, there's much for him to discuss and iron out with the South Korean

president.

The North has developed ballistic missiles which can now hit the continental United States,

on top of recently conducting its 6th nuclear test.

Front and center of discussions for President Moon Jae-in and President Trump: effective

measures to counter the continuing threats.

(English) "The question of how to pressure North Korea

to bring the country to the bargaining table for denuclearization will be a very prominent

issue.

Second on the agenda would be China, the question there is what role China can play in that

regard.

Thirdly, potential cooperation between South Korea, Japan, and the U.S. on dealing with

the North Korean nuclear threat."

Boosting the military capabilities of the two allies; through more frequent joint drills

and an easing of the range-limit in the missile guidelines - are some of the major topics

on that front.

But there are areas Moon and Trump need a more united voice on-- while the White House

highlights 'all options' including military action, Seoul's approach is dialogue under

the condition of Pyongyang freezing its nuclear and missile tests,... with President Moon

stressing no country can consider military action without Seoul's consent.

(Korean) "Easing tensions and diminishing the possibility

of war on Korean peninsula, is what Korean people and its government need right now.

Obviously the U.S. and North Korea don't want war, but regarding cases of unexpected armed

conflict, if Trump could vocalize that he wants peace, then Seoul and Washington can

find a just, joint message toward Pyongyang."

Besides security issues, the two nations' economic interests are sure to be brought

up during Trump's two-day stay in Seoul.

And this could be a difficult topic for Korean officials.

(Korean) "There will be pressure on speeding up the

renegotiation process of the Free Trade Agreement between the two nations, and it will be brought

up along the lines of stressing the importance of cooperation between Seoul and Washington

for regional peace."

However, upon request from Washington, South Korea, the 6th largest trading partner of

the U.S., has already entered renegotiation talks over the 5-year trade pact recently,

hoping to enhance the mutual benefits the deal can bring.

(Korean 4:03~4:10,1:17~35) "From the first two official meetings between

trade officials, Korea has already emphasized the benefits that the trade deal can bring

to both sides.
