Donald Trump says the U.S. is ready to respond with 'fire and fury' to North Korea

On August 8, President Trump stood before the press before the briefing on opioid addiction in Bedminster, NJ. 

After a reporter asked a question about North Korea's recent threat stating they would use nukes only against the U.S., President Trump commented, "North Korea best not make any more threats to the United States. They will be met with fire and fury like the world has never seen."

He also mentioned the North Korean leader Kim Jong Un, stating, "He has been very threatening beyond a normal state" and once again emphasized the U.S. will respond with fire and fury. 

Meanwhile, last month, North Korea conducted long range ICBM tests that some say could reach the U.S. mainland.
