US President Donald Trump says the country’s nuclear arsenal is now more powerful than before.
North Korea had threatened to strike the US territory of Guam in the Pacific and Andersen air force base.
Kim Jong Un, leader of the North Asian country, has made repeated threats against the US. Un has also been defiant to international law as he strives to make his country a nuclear power.
In a series of tweets on Wednesday, which was a reaction to the North Korean threat, Trump said the US would remain the most powerful country on earth. He added that “hopefully” the US might not need to use its nuclear weapons.

My first order as President was to renovate and modernize our nuclear arsenal. It is now far stronger and more powerful than ever before….

…Hopefully we will never have to use this power, but there will never be a time that we are not the most powerful nation in the world!
