What Donald Trump’s ‘fire and fury’ on North Korea might signify

CNN  

CNN — President Donald Trump significantly ratcheted up his rhetoric toward North Korea in the wake of news that the rogue nation has successfully miniaturized a nuclear warhead to fit into an intercontinental ballistic missile. “North Korea best not make any more threats to the United States,” Trump said, arms crossed, from his golf resort in Bedminster, New Jersey, on Tuesday. In the wake of Saturday’s unanimous UN Security Council vote to strengthen sanctions against North Korea, the country issued a statement accusing the US of “trying to drive the situation of the Korean peninsula to the brink of nuclear war.” The North Korean foreign minister also said Monday that the country is totally unwilling to “put the nukes and ballistic rockets on the negotiating table.” Those words – from Trump and North Korea – coupled with the assessment that North Korea had taken a significant step to weaponizing its nuclear capability – accelerates the game of diplomatic chicken the two countries have been playing for the last several years. He also has hardened his stance against China and that country’s need to exert its influence over North Korea – a view that came after Trump spent the first few months of his tenure in the White House playing a sort of “good cop” role in terms of China and North Korea.
