WASHINGTON, Feb. 13 (Xinhua) -- U.S. President Donald Trump on Monday vowed to deal with Democratic People's Republic of Korea (DPRK) "very strongly", calling the Asian country a "big, big problem."
Trump made the remark at a joint press conference with visiting Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau, after the DPRK launched its ballistic missile on Sunday. But the U.S. president did not elaborate on what actions he planned to take in relation to the DPRK.
"We have problems all over the Middle East. We have problems just about every corner of the globe no matter where you look," Trump said when asked about the most important national security issues facing the United States.
Trump on Saturday vowed U.S. support to Japan in a hastily called joint press conference with Japanese Prime Minister Shinzo Abe in Florida.
"I just want everybody to understand and fully know that the United States of America stands behind Japan, its great ally, 100 percent," Trump said.
