“We are looking at that very carefully. I hope that they are going to fully understand the gravity of what I said. What I said is what I mean,” Trump told reporters of North Korea. “We want to talk about a country that has misbehaved for many, many years … decades actually.”

“We’ll either be very, very successful, quickly, or we’re going to be very, very successful in a different way, quickly.”

Earlier in the day, President Trump said that the United States was “locked and loaded” should military action in North Korea be necessary.
