While speaking on Tuesday, President Trump reacted to North Korea’s missile launch by stating the situation will be taken care of and handled and that he had a “long discussion” on the matter with Defense Secretary James Mattis.

Trump said, “As you probably have heard, and some of you have reported, a missile was launched a little while ago from North Korea. I will only tell you that we will take care of it. We have General Mattis in the room with us, and we’ve had a long discussion on it. It is a situation that we will handle.”
