Trump’s Plan To Deal with North Korea

Sen. Lindsey Graham, R-S.C., said Tuesday that President Trump has indicated to him that the administration is prepared to strike North Korea to prevent an attack against the U.S.

“There is a military option to destroy North Korea’s program and North Korea itself,” Graham said on NBC about potential plans to respond to North Korea’s increasingly offensive posture. “If there’s going to be a war to stop him [Kim Jong Un], it will be over there. If thousands die, they’re going to die over there, they’re not going to die here and he’s [Trump] told me that to my face.”

“And that may be provocative, but not really. When you’re president of the United States, where does your allegiance lie? To the people of the United States. This man, Kim Jong Un, is threatening America with a nuclear tip missile. President Trump doesn’t want a war, the Chinese can stop this, but to China, South Korea, and Japan, Donald Trump is not going to allow this missile,” Graham added.

Graham said the only way North Korea stops pushing forward with its intercontinental ballistic missile program is if they believe there is a “credible threat of military force on the table.”
