A White House aide says there’s no misunderstanding what U.S. President Donald Trump means when he says “only one thing will work” to rein in North Korea’s nuclear and missile programs.
Budget director Mick Mulvaney told NBC that Trump’s “clearly telegraphing, and this should not be news to anybody,” and that “military options are on the table. … They absolutely are.”
Trump has previously said years of talking to North Korea and providing aid haven’t worked.

But Democratic Sen. Chris Murphy wants Trump to “stop doing hurtful things to the country’s national security, like telling the North Koreans that there is no diplomatic path for them to give up nuclear weapons.”
GOP Sen. Ron Johnson said “there is no viable military option. It would be horrific.”
