President Trump has ordered the army to prepare for a missile strike against North Korea, telling military advisors to be ready for “all possible actions.”
U.S. Pacific Command has deployed aircraft carrier USS Carl Vinson and its strike group, which includes a cruiser and two destroyers, to “report on station in the Western Pacific Ocean,” in readiness for a military conflict with North Korea.
Trump has said that a pre-emptive missile strike is one of many options he is considering against Kim Jong-un.
In a series of tweets on Tuesday, the President said that North Korea was “looking for trouble,” warning that his administration is prepared to act alone if China is unable to restrain North Korea’s missile program.
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.

One of the problems facing an American-led operation to hit Pyongyang’s leader Kim Jong-Un is the intricate tunnel network under the capital.
War-planners have had difficulty mapping out the subterranean complex and believe there are hundreds of underground artillery and airplane sites.
McMaster described the decision to redeploy the USS Carl Vinson to the Sea of Japan as ‘prudent’ given North Korea’s ‘pattern of provocative behavior.’
Speaking to Fox News, McMaster said: “It’s prudent to do it, isn’t it?
“Presidents before and President Trump agreed that that is unacceptable, that what must happen is the denuclearization of the peninsula.
“The president has asked [us] to be prepared to give us a full range of options to remove that threat.”
