WASHINGTON, Aug. 11 (Xinhua) -- U.S. President Donald Trump said Friday that the U.S. military was "locked and loaded" to deal with the nuclear issue on the Korean peninsula amid escalating tensions between Washington and Pyongyang.
"Military solutions are now fully in place, locked and loaded, should North Korea (the Democratic People's Republic of Korea) act unwisely," Trump tweeted Friday morning.
Trump's warning came after Pyongyang accused the United States and Japan of reckless behavior earlier in the day.
