President Trump says the 'Christmas gift' that North Korea warned of earlier this month may end up being a 'nice present' like a vase, rather than the missile test that many military experts expect.
Trump added that whatever the surprise, the U.S. would be able to deal with it “successfully.”
“Let's see what happens. Everybody’s got surprises for me but let's see what happens. I handle them as they come along,” the president told reporters. Last year, Trump and Kim held the first talks between the sitting leaders of the two nations. But the talks have since stalled, and North Korea has given the U.S. an ultimatum that if Washington does not make concessions by the end of this year, it will pursue an unspecified"new path."on phase one of a trade deal. That agreement would reduce some U.S. tariffs in exchange for more Chinese purchases of American farm products and other goods.
