US President Donald Trump is ready to use the “full range of US capabilities” in response to North Korea, according to a US envoy, The Independent reports.
Robert Wood, the country’s disarmament ambassador, said responding to missile tests by Kim Jong-un's regime was Mr Trump’s “top priority”.
Wood told a United Nations conference on disarmament that the US is considering all options for dealing with the “growing threat” posed by North Korea.
"North Korea's ballistic missile and nuclear weapons programmes pose grave threats to the entire world," he told the meeting in Geneva. "Its recent ICBM tests are another example of the dangerous, reckless behaviour of the North that is destabilising the region and beyond.
"My President's top priority remains protecting the homeland, US territories and our allies against North Korean aggression. We remain prepared to use the full range of capabilities at our disposal against the growing threat from North Korea."
