Pence Warns North Korea Not to Test Trump

Vice President Mike Pence warned North Korea not to push President Donald Trump, calling the recent American military strikes on Syria and Afghanistan an example of Washington’s strength.

.. “North Korea would do well not to test his resolve or the strength of the armed forces of the United States,” Mr. Pence said

.. Mr. Pence pointed to recent unilateral airstrikes by the U.S., first with 59 Tomahawk missiles on an air base in Syria and later with one of the U.S.’s largest nonnuclear bombs in Afghanistan as a warning to North Korea.

“Just in the past two weeks, the world witnessed the strength and resolve of our new president in actions taken in Syria and in Afghanistan,” Mr. Pence said, underscoring the “message of resolve” that he said he was bringing to Northeast Asia.
