Donald Trump has again threatened the regime of dictator Kim Jong-un, asserting that dialogue with Pyongyang is futile and leaving again his preference for force. “Presidents and their administrations have been talking to North Korea for 25 years, agreements have been reached and huge sums of money have been spent,” he has written on Twitter from Washington before leaving for North Carolina, continuing in another message: “He has not” Operated, the agreements have been violated before the ink dries, teasing US negotiators. “I’m sorry, only one thing will work!”

.. hasn’t worked, agreements violated before the ink was dry, King’s fools of U.S. negotiators. Sorry, but only one thing will work!
— Donald J. Trump (@realDonaldTrump) October 7, 2017 North Korea has multiplied its ballistic essays and tested a so-called new hydrogen bomb since Trump assumed the White House headquarters in January. For his part, the U.S. president has placed Pyongyang as the number one enemy from the outset, and has come to warn him that if he continues to provoke Washington, he could find himself “with a fury and a fire never seen in the world.” Trump flirts with his Twitter statements and messages with the possibility of an attack on North Korea – an unpredictable nation with nuclear weapons – and has revived the global fear of using atomic bombs in the early stages.
Last Thursday, in the Prolegomena of a dinner with military leaders and after the press was summoned to the event in a sudden way, the president suddenly launched a few puzzling words. As he posed with the army’s high commanders and his wives between smiles and classical background music, he told reporters: “Do you know what this represents?” And he added, “Maybe it’s the calm before the storm.” “It could be the calm, the calm that precedes the storm.”
“What storm, Mr. President?” “asked a reporter.” The Islamic State? North Korea? Iran?.
“You’ll find out,” he said, cultivating the suspense, Donald Trump.
