Vice President Mike Pence issued a fresh warning to North Korea from the deck of a U.S. aircraft carrier in Japan, hours after reports emerged that the approaching “armada” that President Donald Trump touted last week was still thousands of miles away.
Pence -- to sailors and Marines gathered Wednesday on the USS Ronald Reagan at Yokosuka naval base -- repeated the Trump administration’s line that all options to end North Korea’s nuclear program were on the table. In a message directed at Kim Jong Un’s regime, he said the world mustn’t doubt Trump’s resolve following his “decisive action” against Syria and Afghanistan.
