Trump, in fresh warning: North Korea 'will be taken care of'
Updated 12:26 pm, Thursday, April 13, 2017
The North Korean US-based monitoring service
38 North has said the country’s nuclear site is ‘‘primed and ready’‘ for
a sixth nuclear test.
The prediction that Pyongyang will soon conduct another test came as
Japan’s Prime Minister Shinzo Abe told a parliamentary session that the
reclusive state has the capability to deliver missiles equipped with
Sarin nerve gas.
‘‘Earlier this month over one hundred people were killed using this
gas, we need to firmly grasp this reality and ensure that North Korea do
not go ahead and do this. That is kind of the deterrence we need to
have,” Abe said.
North Korea marks the 105th anniversary of the birth of the state’s
founder Kim Il Sung on Saturday.
Known as the ‘‘Day of the Sun’‘, the biggest national day in the
country’s calender is being widely tipped as a possible date to launch a
sixth atomic test.
The US recently dispatched a aircraft carrier group to the region as
tensions continue to mount on the Korean peninsula.
On Tuesday President Trump tweeted that the US would not be afraid to
act alone on North Korea if Beijing does not help.
China’s president Xi Jinping recently called for a peaceful resolution
to the tensions in the region.

Trump commented on North Korea after he was asked about the U.S. military's decision to drop the largest non-nuclear weapon it has ever used in combat on an area of eastern Afghanistan.
Said Trump: "North Korea is a problem, the problem will be taken care of."
Trump wants China to help contain North Korea, but in recent weeks he has signaled a willingness to handle the issue alone.
Trump and China's president discussed North Korea at a meeting last week in Florida.
