President Donald Trump told reporters at the White House on Tuesday that the United States "will handle" the situation in North Korea after the rogue nation launched yet another intercontinental ballistic missile earlier in the day. "We will take care of it," Trump said, adding later that North Korea "is a situation that we will handle." The Pentagon confirmed earlier Tuesday that North Korea launched what the US military believes to be an intercontinental ballistic missile. Secretary of Defense Jim Mattis told reporters that the North Korean missile test went "higher, frankly, than any previous shot they have taken."
Mattis made remarks as he sat in on a meeting with Trump, House Speaker Ryan and Senate Majority Leader McConnell. The defense secretary added that North Korea has the ability to hit "everywhere in the world basically." Pentagon spokesperson Col. Rob Manning told reporters that the missile was "launched from Sain Ni, North Korea, and traveled about 1,000 kilometers before splashing down in the Sea of Japan, within Japan's Economic Exclusion Zone." "The North American Aerospace Defense Command (NORAD) determined the missile launch from North Korea did not pose a threat to North America, our territories or our allies," Manning added. CNN also confirmed the launch with the South Korean military leaders. "North Korea fired an unidentified ballistic missile early this morning from Pyongsong, South Pyongan, to the east direction. South Korea's Joint Chiefs of Staff is analyzing more details of the missile with the US side," said an official at South Korea's Joint Chiefs of Staff. South Korea's Joint Chiefs of Staff said the South Korean military carried out a "precision missile strike drill" just minutes after North Korea's missile launch.

We will take care of it.
I thought we schmoozed the ChiComs to take care of North Korea?
They have been cutting off NK supplies, cash flow and travel.
Isolating them is the first step in destroying them...........
Pyongyang, North Korea - Future site of Trump International Asian Hotel and Golf Course.
(After the radiation subsides a bit.)
This is the same stuff that George Bush said. And I’m not saying it was wrong, but it’s the same thing.
Bush said that he would handle the war in such a way that we wouldn’t be even inconvenienced by it. And that wasn’t the right move - albeit an honorable thing to attempt.
We need to know. We need to feel it. We need to know who our enemy is so we don’t invite them to move in with us after, like we did with Islam.
Trump does not broadcast his moves like the brown bomber did. I would expect something to happen by the weekend.
I’ll believe Trump on this matter when it’s taken care of.
Until then the jury is still out.
We shouldn’t have to take care of it. NK’s neighbors should have taken care of it a long time ago.
They couldn’t because the US was “solving” the problem.
Kim Jong-un is going to wake up with a horse’s head next to him.
