The United States and North Korea seem to be locked into a cycle of insult and threats that have left many fearing that World War 3 is imminent. As previously reported by the Inquisitr, those fears were escalated earlier this week when U.S. President Donald Trump called military leaders to the White House. After that meeting, Trump called an impromptu press conference and told the press corps that he had asked military leaders for ‘military options” to deal with Iran and North Korea. Trump also suggested that the press call represented “the calm before the storm.”
