North Korea SHOCK warning: Trump WILL use military force if North Korea does NOT back down
DONALD TRUMP will inflict military force on
North Korea if Kim Jong-un does not abandon his nuclear weapons programme, former US ambassador
John Bolton has warned.
North Korea could be hit by a pre-emptive military strike from the US as it continues
to ramp up its missile fears.
Kim Jong-un has warned a "nuclear button is always on my desk" as he threatened the US
during his New Year's address in Pyongyang.
He said: "The entire United States is within range of our nuclear weapons, and a nuclear
button is always on my desk.
This is reality, not a threat."
John Bolton said the speech from Kim Jong-un was "propaganda" and military force remains
to be a definite option to stop the rogue nation's nuclear ambitions.
Speaking on Fox News, Former US ambassador to the UN John Bolton said: "This is his
regular New Year's speech and obviously he has seen the conversation in the United
States that looks at possible preemptive military force.
"It's not the most attractive option but it is an option that we definitely have to
use if they don't give up their nuclear weapons programme.
"So we need a very careful calibration, exactly what the North's capabilities are."
North Korea's most recent missile test took place on November 29, and the regime said
the Hwasong-15 missile flew 590 miles during its 53-minute flight before landing in the
sea near Japan.
North Korea claimed it was a "pipe dream" to think it would ever give up its nuclear
programme after the UN imposed brutal sanctions to halt Kim Jong-un's regime.
The UN resolution is attempting to ban almost 90 percent of refined petroleum product exports
to North Korea – a resolution which North Korea labelled an "act of war".
Following the UN vote, Donald Trump wrote on Twitter: "The United Nations Security
Council just voted 15-0 in favour of additional Sanctions on North Korea.
The World wants Peace, not Death!"
UN sanctions have forced China to stop all exports of petroleum exports to North Korea
in November, Chinese customs data showed.
