this morning president trump tweeted, our country has been unsuccessfully dealing with north korea for 25 years giving billions of dollars around getting nothing. policy didn t work. and over the weekend, he tweeted that only one thing will work when dealing with north korea. he didn t specifically say what that one thing is. north korea sometimes test weapons on major holidays that country today marks the anniversary of the ruling party s creation. it is unclear thus far whether the dictator there has anything planned. gordon change is here, author of nuclear show down, north korea takes the world. you say our actions may disarm him. what are you talking about? president trump has a september 21 executive order. the executive order says anybody that does business with north korea does not do business with
north korea is essentially being laid out there in twitter. everybody i have talked to said there s one way to interpret that and that is that we re ready for military action and everybody also says that would be an unmitigated disaster. where are we? it s true. he s laying it out in a trump pattern. teasing everybody saying i m dangling something you don t know what it is. the me he s clearly hinting the military action saying that the policy didn t work because the policy has been ratcheting up the pressure, even dating back to the bush years. the pressure steadily. increasing the sanctions. trying to go toward negotiations and the u.s. actually made it clear. the u.n. security council resolution our goal to revamp the six-party talks and then undermined the negotiation efforts so the only thing left there is military action. i don t know how serious he is. i think he s trying to punt it a
