Trump Weighs Military Action against N Korea
Local Editor
A Wall Street Journal report stated that US President Donald Trump is considering military action against North Korea in an effort to stop their nuclear-weapons program.
Sources told the WSJ that an internal White House review of strategy on the Hermit Kingdom includes the possibility of military force or regime change - an idea that US officials have reportedly emphasized during recent talks with American allies in the South Pacific.
While Trump promised to uphold the agreements in place in regards to US policy on Asia, some nations have been bracing for a drastic shift in American policy, the Journal reported.
During the discussions, sources said White House officials had been highlighting the possible military dimensions of their proposed strategy.
The two-week-old White House review into North Korea comes a little less than a month after Pyongyang conducted a ballistic missile test in the Sea of Japan - and nearly three weeks after leader Kim Jong Un's estranged half-brother, Kim Jong Nam, was assassinated in Malaysia.
The report further added that the possibility of military action may cause China to finally side with Washington and take the necessary steps to help stop the North Koreans. Beijing has already begun reducing coal imports from North Korea.
Japan and South Korea have been actively trying to aid the US in providing economic and diplomatic pressure against North Korea, the Journal reports.
On Wednesday, leaders from Seoul and the US launched their annual, large-scale military exercises - prompting Jong Un to order his troops to prepare for a "merciless strike," according to Agence France-Presse.
The drills were said to be similar to last year's, when an estimated 300,000 South Korean troops were deployed alongside 17,000 US soldiers.
