Trump fires further threats toward North Korea as war of words escalates

트럼프, 대북 선제타격 놓고 '앞으로 알게 될 것' U.S. President Donald Trump is not backing down from his tough talk on North Korea, in fact he apparently questions whether he was tough enough. Trump is not ruling out a pre-emptive strike against the regime, though other adminstration officials are emphasizing that "Plan A" is diplomacy. Kwon Jang-ho reports. President Donald Trump has refused to back down from his threats on North Korea, despite criticisms that he was needlessly and dangerously escalating tensions in region. Speaking at a press conference on Thursday,... Trump warned Pyongyang would face dire consequences if it carries out its promise... to launch ballistic missiles toward Guam. "Let's see what he does with Guam. He does something in Guam, it will be an event the likes of which nobody has seen before, what will happen in North Korea. Reporter: Is that a dare? "It's not a dare. It's a statement, has nothing to do with dare. That's a statement." Trump also said that his controversial 'fire and fury' comments from Wednesday were perhaps "not tough enough" and warned that Pyongyang should be nervous. He also did not rule out a pre-emptive strike, although at the same time he did not rule out negotiations either. He said he would like to see a nuclear-free world, but until all countries, including Russia, China and Pakistan get rid of their nuclear weapons, he pledged the U.S. would remain "the most powerful nuclear nation on earth by far." Such boisterous rhetoric from a U.S. President is unprecedented, but from North Korea, it's much more familiar... and Pyongyang continued its usual verbal attacks on Trump and the U.S. on Thursday. After calling Trump someone 'bereft of reason', and his threats 'a load of nonsense' the day previously, the regime's state media warned the U.S.'s reckless behaviour will lead to its mainland being reduced to ashes.
