Summary Trump has warned that advanced US weaponry could make the souls of America's enemies 'crumble.'
JOINT BASE ANDREWS (AFP) - Standing before a B-2 stealth bomber and a vast US flag, Donald Trump on Friday lashed out at North Korea warned that advanced US weaponry could make the souls of America s enemies "crumble."
Addressing several hundred air force personnel after reviewing some of America s most high-tech fighters jets and bombers, Trump warned that Pyongyang had "once again shown its utter contempt for its neighbors and for the entire world community."
"After seeing our capabilities, I am more confident than ever that our options are not only effective but overwhelming," Trump said.
The UN Security Council on Friday strongly condemned North Korea s "highly provocative" missile launch and demanded Pyongyang immediately halt such actions -- but did not threaten further sanctions.
North Korea fired the intermediate-range ballistic missile over Japan that landed in the Pacific, responding to new UN sanctions with its furthest-ever missile flight.
In a unanimous statement backed by China, the council said the launch was carried out just three weeks after a first missile overflew Japan and less than two weeks after Pyongyang s sixth and biggest nuclear test.
US President Donald Trump has scheduled talks with leaders of Japan and South Korea to address the crisis.
