US moves NUCLEAR SUBMARINE to Korea after Kim Jong-Un missile threats:- DONALD Trump has sent a nuclear submarine to Korea amid fears Kim Jong-un may fire yet another missile in the coming days.<\/span><\/p>\n

Kim Jong-un has caused international outrage following months of missile tests \u2013 including a Hwasong 14 Intercontinental Ballistic Missile (ICBM) capable of reaching the USA.<\/span><\/p>\n

Now Donald Trump has sent the USS Tuscon, one of the nation’s nuclear submarines, to the Korean peninsula in an apparent show of force against the young tyrant.<\/span><\/p>\n

Officials have revealed the nuclear vessel made port on Saturday, arriving at Chinhae, South Korea.<\/span><\/p>\n

A statement from US Pacific Command said: “With a crew of approximately 150, Tucson can conduct a multitude of missions and maintain proficiencies of the latest capabilities of the submarine fleet.<\/span><\/p>\n

“Tucson’s crew operates with a high state of readiness and is always prepared to tackle any mission that comes their way.”<\/span><\/p>\n

On Tuesday officials confirmed Donald Trump had been briefed by his generals on options to respond to North Korean “aggression”.<\/span><\/p>\n

In a statement, the White House said: “This morning President Donald J. Trump met with members of his national security team to receive a briefing from Secretary of Defense James Mattis and Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff General Joseph Dunford.<\/span><\/p>\n

“The briefing and discussion focused on a range of options to respond to any form of North Korean aggression or, if necessary, to prevent North Korea from threatening the United States and its allies with nuclear weapons.”<\/span><\/p>\n

After the meeting the US flew two supersonic bombers over the Korean peninsula.<\/span><\/p>\n

The B-1B bombers flew over the Korean peninsula in a show of force late on Tuesday, according to South Korean authorities.<\/span><\/p>\n

It comes after months of threats and missile tests from the hermit kingdom, who last month tested a missile capable of reaching the continental US.<\/span><\/p>\n

Donald Trump\u2019s North Korea meeting was held the meeting in the situation room in the White House where US Presidents traditionally hold \u201cwar councils\u201d at times of conflict.<\/span><\/p>\n

The most senior US general recently told the American army to \u201cstand ready\u201d for war with North Korea.<\/span><\/p>\n

General James ‘Mad dog’ Mattis warned it is impossible to tell what the future holds for the crisis, but urged US troops to be prepared for a confrontation with Kim Jong-un.<\/span><\/p>\n
