Trump threatens that only 'one thing' will work against North Korea

WASHINGTON — President Trump
tweeted new storm warnings
Saturday, this time aimed at North
Korea.
In a pair of late-afternoon tweets,
Trump wrote that negotiations with
the truculent, isolated nation had
backfired, "makings (sic) fools of
U.S. negotiators. Sorry, but only one
thing will work!"
He didn't make clear what that "one
thing" is but has been hinting for
several days that the time for
diplomacy has passed, leaving a
military strike as the most likely
option.
Trump tweeted Sunday that
Secretary of State Rex Tillerson was
"wasting his time" negotiating with
North Korean leader Kim Jong Un.

find out' about 'the storm' that
may be coming
► Oct. 1: Tillerson wasting time
negotiating with 'Little Rocket
Man,' Trump says
On Friday, the morning after he
met with the nation's top military
commanders, Trump spoke in cryptic
terms about the "calm before the
storm." When asked to clarify,
Trump said: "You'll find out."
Later Friday, White House
spokeswoman Sarah Sanders
declined to clarify what Trump was
hinting at.
Pentagon officials have predicted
that a military clash on the Korean
peninsula would likely result in
civilian casualties on an enormous
scale.
