Trump is not ruling out military action against North Korea

President Trump did not appear to be ruling out military action against North Korea if the country pushes forward with its nuclear weapons program.

In an interview with CBS News’s John Dickerson that aired Sunday on “Face the Nation,” Trump said he would not be pleased if North Korea takes that step.

“He’s going to have to do what he has to do. But he understands we’re not going to be very happy,” Trump said of the country’s leader, Kim Jong Un.

Pressed by Dickerson on whether he means there could be military action, Trump did not confirm, but he also did not deny.

“I don’t know,” he said. “I mean, we’ll see.”
