In reference to North Korea, Donald Trump says ‘no dictator’ should underestimate U.S. military

At the start of a 12-day trip through Asia to confront North Korea, President Trump told U.S. service members in Japan on Sunday that no dictator should underestimate American military power and determination.The president also said he expects to meet with Russian President Vladimir Putin during this trip to seek his help with North Korea.Meeting with U.S. troops at Yokota Air Base in Japan on the first full day of his Asia visit, Mr. Trump referred to the diplomatic and security challenges posed by North Korea’s nuclear weapons and missile programs.“Together with our allies, America’s warriors are prepared to defend our nation using the full range of our unmatched capabilities,” Mr. Trump said. “No one — no dictator, no regime and no nation — should underestimate, ever, American resolve.”In an apparent reference to World War II, Mr. Trump said enemies have made the mistake of underestimating the U.S. “every once in a while in the past.”
