BRIDGEWATER, N.J. President Trump threatened on Tuesday to unleash fire and fury against North Korea if it endangers the United States as tensions with the isolated nuclear-armed state grow into perhaps the most serious foreign policy challenge yet in his young administration.
North Korea best not make any more threats to the United States, Mr. Trump told reporters at his golf club in Bedminster, N.J. They will be met with fire and fury like the world has never seen. He has been very threatening beyond a normal state and as I said they will be met with fire and fury and frankly power the likes of which this world has never seen before.
The presidents comments came as North Korea earlier in the day escalated its criticism of the United States, as well as its neighboring allies, by warning that it will mobilize all its resources to take physical action in retaliation against the latest round of United Nations sanctions.
The statement, carried by the Norths state-run Korean Central News Agency, was the strongest indication yet that the country could conduct another nuclear or missile test, as it had often done in response to past United Nations sanctions. Until now, the Norths response to the latest sanctions had been limited to strident yet vague warnings, such as threatening retaliation thousands of times over.
Packs of wolves are coming in attack to strangle a nation, the North Korean statement said. They should be mindful that the D.P.R.K.s strategic steps accompanied by physical action will be taken mercilessly with the mobilization of all its national strength.
