First skrøyt the Trump of the United states ' role in the diplomatic progress on the Koreahalvøya, then came the quote about North Korea:

If I had not been elected president, we would have been in a gigantic war with North Korea right now, with potentially millions of people killed.

the Conflict between Kim and the Trump escalated the first new year's day in 2018, when Kim in his nyttårstale selected to remind the world and the Trump of its nuclear weapons.

the united STATES is within the reach of our nuclear weapons, and the button to trigger them is always on my desk. There is no threat, that's reality, said Kim.

Trump chose to respond with the same coin the day after.

Can someone from his starved and impoverished regime tell him that I also have a atomknapp, but it is much larger and more powerful than his, and my button works! he replied.

"such An action would most likely have been perceived by North Korea as a warning that the united STATES prepared for war," writes Woodward.

Caution

But Trump should have been warned from several quarters not to write such a tweet, among other things, by senator Lindsay Graham.

- You must think thoroughly before taking such a decision. For when you have taken it, it becomes hard to go back on it. The day you make it, is the day you crash south Korean and japanese economy. It is an incredibly big decision, should I have said to Trump.

- So you think I should wait? should Trump have black.

Mr. president. I believe that you should never initiate this process, without having to be prepared to go to war.

Vice president Mike Pence has stated that they will not require that North Korea share an overview of their nuclear weapons before the next summit, but that it will be placed on the agenda.

I believe it will be crucial that we manage to get in place a plan for how we are to get an overview of the weapons and atomanleggene their - and that they allow us to inspect the bases and the plan to discontinue the atomvåpenprogrammet, he said in an interview with NBC News.
