Trump orders US military to shoot down North Korean missiles
‘US President Donald Trump has ordered military to shoot down any missile launched from North Korea and heading toward Guam or the United States.
Sources close to the White House national security team told Newsmax on Thursday the order was issued to the US military in the wake of last month’s threat by North Korea to fire a ballistic missile toward Guam, a US territory.
“The threat provoked the president,” one source told the news agency.
Another national security source told Newsmax that Trump also is considering a new “shoot down” order for any North Korean missile fired toward Japan or South Korea.
“This is a clear exercise of self-defense, and there’s no question we should do it,” former US ambassador to the United Nations John Bolton told Newsmax.’
