Donald Trump has sent a warning to Kim Jong-un and North Korea

Donald Trump took to Twitter to send a dire warning to Kim Jong-un's hermit kingdom. The president said: "North Korea is looking for trouble. If China decides to help, that would be great. If not, we will solve the problem without them! U.S.A." He added: "I explained to the President of China that a trade deal with the U.S. will be far better for them if they solve the North Korean problem!"


The Tweets will set alarm bells ringing in Beijin and Pyongyang, as tensions continue to rise on the Korean peninsula. READ MORE: What will Donald Trump do about North Korea and its nuclear weapons?

America has diverted a strike group from Australia to the west Pacific in a show of strength - a move which has infuriated Kim Jong-un. The dictator today warned he had weapons trained on America - adding he would not hold back from launching a nuclear attack on the US mainland.


A state-run newspaper in North Korea said today: "Our revolutionary strong army is keenly watching every move by enemy elements with our nuclear sight focused on the US invasionary bases not only in South Korea and the Pacific operation theatre but also in the US mainland."
