President Trump vows to meet threats from North Korea with 'fire and fury'

With new reports that North Korea has figured out how to make nuclear weapons small enough to fit on a missile, President Donald Trump warned the Pyongyang regime on Tuesday that any effort to threaten or attack the United States would be met with a decisive U.S. military response.

“As I said, they will be met with fire, fury and frankly, power – the likes of which the world has never seen before,” Mr. Trump told reporters during a photo op at his Bedminster, New Jersey golf course.

“He has been very threatening,” the President said of North Korean leader Kim Jong Un, hours after the leak of a Defense Intelligence Agency assessment to the Washington Post, which concluded that North Korea had figured out how to miniaturize nuclear weapons, and place them on a missile.

The remarks came as Mr. Trump met with top administration officials on ways to rein in the opioid crisis, as Health and Human Services Secretary Tom Price was briefing the President.
