President Donald Trump on Sunday said he would meet with his chief of staff Gen. John Kelly, Secretary of Defense Gen. James Mattis and “other military leaders” after North Korea’s state-run media claimed its leader inspected the loading of a hydrogen bomb into a new intercontinental ballistic missile.
“I will be meeting General Kelly, General Mattis and other military leaders at the White House to discuss North Korea,” Trump tweeted.
He said the United States “is considering, in addition to other options, stopping all trade with any country doing business with North Korea.”
I will be meeting General Kelly, General Mattis and other military leaders at the White House to discuss North Korea. Thank you.

Trump’s remarks were in contrast to his comments on the subject Sunday morning, when he called North Korea “a rogue nation” and “very hostile and dangerous to the United States.”
Secretary of the Treasury Steve Mnuchin on Sunday said he would “draft a sanctions package” on North Korea to send to Trump.
Translation: “I will have my brass give Me an idea I can take credit for, for the Win!”
He wants to push the button.
I can’t wait for Donald to try “stopping all trade” between the US and China.
I think that’ll work out really well.
‘wellllll’
I just hope that the military leaders don’t use big words that Trump can’t understand. The generals might do well to use lots of charts and pictures with plenty of pretty colors.
