North Korea’s government-run news claims the country will quickly release a plan to target four medium-range missiles at the ocean near Guam.
The missiles would supposedly be fired over Japan and land within around 20 miles of the U.S. territory of Guam. It’s North Korea’s latest response to the threats President Trump made two days ago. He said “North Korea best not make any more threats to the U.S. They will be met with fire, fury, and frankly power the likes of which this world has never seen before.”
If North Korea takes the step threatened this morning, how will the U.S. respond?
