Sen. King to Trump: Tone things down on North Korea
AUBURN Sen. Angus King of Maine said Wednesday hes concerned that President Trumps recent fiery rhetoric toward North Korea will not help ease tensions on the Korean Peninsula and may put thousands of lives at risk.
Its a very dangerous situation, King said during a news conference just hours after Trump shared on Twitter a video clip of himself warning North Korea that it would be met with fire and fury like the world has never seen if it made more threats to the United States.
Trump also took to the social media platform to say, My first order as president was to renovate and modernize our nuclear arsenal. It is now far stronger and more powerful than ever before.
Followed by, Hopefully we will never have to use this power, but there will never be a time that we are not the most powerful nation in the world!
