US ready to nuke North Korea: White House |
VietPress USA (May 4th, 2019): The South Korean Yonhap News just announced that Noth Korea today on Saturday, April 4th, 2019, fired a short range Missile at 9:06 am local time from East cost town of Wonsan in the East to East Sea.
Yonhap quoted the statement released by South Korea's Joint Chiefs that said South Korean and U.S. authorities "are analyzing details of the missile".
On Sept. 18, 2017, Defense Secretary James N. Mattis said that the U.S. military has not attempted to shoot down ballistic missiles test-launched by North Korea because they have not been on a trajectory to hit U.S. or allies’ territory.
The comments come after the underground test of a nuclear bomb earlier this month and days after North Korea launched its second missile in less than a month that flew over northern Japan.
But earlier the source from Patriots News said that US President Donald Trump has ordered military to shoot down any missile launched from North Korea and heading toward Guam or the United States.
Sources close to the White House national security team told the media on Thursday the order was issued to the US military in the wake of last month’s threat by North Korea to fire a ballistic missile toward Guam, a US territory. “The threat provoked the president,” one source told the news agency.
Recently, according to the Times's publication today after North Korea firing missile, President Donald Trump brushed off news of a possible weapons test by North Korea, vowing that leader Kim Jong Un “will do nothing to interfere” and that a denuclearization deal with the U.S. “will happen.”
Saturday’s tweet, posted while Trump was in a motorcade to the Trump National Golf Club in Virginia, was the president’s first response to news overnight that Pyongyang had fired numerous short-range projectiles off its eastern coast on Saturday, according to South Korean authorities.
The move was seen as Kim’s latest and most provocative signal of frustration over talks with Trump following the pair’s failed summit in Vietnam in February.
