Trump says U.S. not putting up with North Korea’s actions<\/span><\/strong><\/span><\/h2>\n

Trump says U.S. not putting up with North Korea’s actions:- President Donald Trump warned on Wednesday that the United States would no longer tolerate North Korea\u2019s actions but said the use of military force against Pyongyang will not be his \u201cfirst choice.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n

His comment appeared to be in line with classified briefings to Congress in which Trump\u2019s top national security aides – Defense Secretary Jim Mattis, Secretary of State Rex Tillerson and Dan Coats, the director of national intelligence – stressed the search for a diplomatic solution to the crisis, lawmakers said.<\/span><\/p>\n

A senior administration official, meanwhile, said that the White House has set aside for now consideration of exiting a free trade pact with South Korea, a move being contemplated by Trump that could have complicated relations with Seoul.<\/span><\/p>\n

In a flurry of phone calls with world leaders days after North Korea\u2019s sixth and most powerful nuclear test, Trump and Chinese President Xi Jinping committed to \u201dtake further action with the goal of achieving the denuclearization of the Korean peninsula,\u201d the White House said.<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201dPresident Xi would like to do something. We\u2019ll see whether or not he can do it. But we will not be putting up with what\u2019s happening in North Korea,\u201d Trump told reporters, though he offered no specifics.<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cI believe that President Xi agrees with me 100 percent,\u201d he added.<\/span><\/p>\n

Asked whether he was considering a military response to North Korea, Trump said: \u201dCertainly, that\u2019s not our first choice, but we will see what happens.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n

Xi, who has been under pressure from Trump to do more to help curb North Korea\u2019s nuclear and missile programs, told the U.S. president during their 45-minute call that the North Korean issue must be resolved through \u201cdialogue and consultation.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n

The focus on negotiations by China, North Korea\u2019s main trading partner, contrasted with Trump\u2019s assertions over the last few days that now was not the time for talks with North Korea while pressing instead for increased international pressure on Pyongyang.<\/span><\/p>\n

The United States and South Korea have asked the United Nations to consider tough new sanctions on North Korea after its nuclear test on Sunday that Pyongyang said was an advanced hydrogen bomb.<\/span><\/p>\n

Late on Wednesday, U.S. Treasury Secretary Steve Mnuchin indicated that if the U.N. Security Council fails to approve sufficiently strong measures, Trump could authorize him to impose sanctions on any country or entity that trades with North Korea.<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cWe believe that we need to economically cut off North Korea,\u201d Mnuchin told reporters aboard Air Force One as it flew back from North Dakota, where Trump gave a speech on tax reform. \u201cI have an executive order prepared. It\u2019s ready to go to the president. It will authorize me to . . . put sanctions on anybody that does trade with North Korea.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n

Mnuchin said that Trump would consider the order \u201cat the appropriate time once he gives the U.N. time to act.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n
