U.S. President Donald Trump says he’s considering some “very severe things” to respond to North Korea’s test launch of an intercontinental ballistic missile.
But he adds that that doesn’t mean he’s going to follow through on them.
Taking a major step in its missile program, North Korea on Tuesday test-launched an ICBM, which some experts believe has the range to reach Alaska and the Pacific Northwest of the United States.

Hours after North Korea launched its latest ballistic missile test Tuesday, U.S. President Donald Trump took to Twitter saying it was “hard to believe South Korea and Japan will put up with this much longer.”
On Thursday, Trump was in Warsaw, Poland and said he wants to look at what happens over the coming weeks and months and calls North Korea’s behaviour “a shame.”

Trump says North Korea is behaving in a “very, very dangerous manner” and that something will have to be done about it.
North Korea launched the missile earlier this week. The issue will be a topic of discussion when Trump meets with world leaders in Germany later this week.
