WORLD WAR 3: Most Americans think Donald Trump WILL use military force on North Korea
MOST Americans think President Trump is “really willing to use military force” against North Korea, a survey has revealed.
The data from the Pew Research Center revealed 84 per cent of Americans polled say they think Trump is “really willing” to use military force against the hermit kingdom.
88 percent of Republican respondents said they believed Trump would be willing to strike Kim Jong-Un, while 83 percent of Democrats said the same.
Those asked also demonstrated an increased concern about North Korea’s willingness to bring war to the US following Kim’s sabre rattling.
Of those surveyed 71 percent said the US should take North Korea’s nuclear threats “very seriously” – a 15-point increase from 2013.
There was also strong disagreement along party lines over President Trump’s ability to handle threats from North Korea.
Only nine per cent of Democrat and Democrat-leaning respondents said they were at least somewhat confident in Trump’s ability to handle North Korea.
However, 80 percent of Republican and Republican-leaning respondents said they were confident in the President’s ability to deal with the hermit kingdom.
The survey was conducted from October 25 to October 30, just days before the US President departed for his trip to Asia.
During his 13-day tour of Asia, Trump will focus on North Korea and trade.
He will visit Japan, South Korea, China, Vietnam and the Philippines amid increased tensions across the pacific over North Korea’s dangerous missile tests.
However he is not expected to visit the Demilitarised Zone – which borders south and North Korea – during the trip.
Earlier this week, the US President’s national security adviser said the Trump administration is considering resisting North Korea as a state sponsor of terrorism.
