Trump to North Korea: Be very, very nervous

President Donald Trump has warned North Korea it should be "very, very nervous" if it does anything to the US.
He said the regime would be in trouble "like few nations have ever been" if they do not "get their act together".
His comments came after Pyongyang announced it had a plan to fire four missiles near the US territory of Guam.
Tensions between the two countries have escalated in recent weeks after North Korea tested two intercontinental ballistic missiles in July.
The UN recently approved further economic sanctions against Pyongyang as a result of its nuclear weapons programme.
President Trump also said he was close to revealing his keenly awaited decision on the number of troops he plans to keep in Afghanistan.
He said he had "taken over a mess", but was going to make it "a lot less messy".

Speaking on Thursday at his golf club in Bedminster, New Jersey, Mr Trump also offered an olive branch to North Korea, saying the US would always consider negotiations.
He suggested his own statements had not been tough enough on Pyongyang, despite his threat this week to rain "fire and fury" upon the regime.
North Korea has dismissed his dire warnings as "nonsense".

But Mr Trump struck a defiant tone on Thursday. He railed against previous US administrations for being too weak on North Korea, adding that its pursuit of nuclear weapons was a "tragedy".
He also chided the North's closest ally, China, saying it could do "a lot more".
When asked if there was a possibility of a pre-emptive strike against Pyongyang, Mr Trump said: "We don't talk about that. I never do."
But he said: "I will tell you this, if North Korea does anything in terms of even thinking about attack of anybody that we love or we represent or our allies or us they can be very, very nervous.
"I'll tell you why… because things will happen to them like they never thought possible."
