North Korea has been ramping up their threats towards the United States over the past few months, but could easily be stopped, a former Trump aide has said.
Sebastian Gorka, the former deputy assistant to President Donald Trump, has revealed how Kim Jong-un could be stopped within “10 minutes”.
If China responds to Mr Trump’s demands, and pressure the North Korean regime even more then they can be stopped, Mr Gorka told Fox Business.
He said: “The President just finished his fabulous tour in Asia and he did exactly what he had to do which is to reassure all of our partners in the region, all of our allies to say they are not alone.
“The last eight years or so of strategic patience is over and North Korea will not be allowed to threaten them or us, whether it is Guam or the mainland US.

“When it comes to what else can be done. There are two simple baskets of action. Number one, numerous covert mean that we can not discuss on television to undermine that capacity to do us damage.
“And the second is the expectation that the President has with regards to Beijing, this whole problem could be solved within 10 minutes, because they could close off the forces when it comes to energy which North Korea requires and they would be brought to heel very rapidly.
“We will see if China is serious about reigning in its crazy neighbour.”
North Korea has been re-designated a state sponsor of terrorism, as the US President attempts to put a stop to the hermit kingdom’s threats to the globe amid fears conflict could spark World War 3.
US Secretary of State Rex Tillerson said: “We still hope for diplomacy and the timing of this is just one of us concluding the process.
“There is a very specific designation progress that we have to go through at the State Department to meet the criteria for the designation.
“We wanted to make sure we had met all those requirements. Again this is all part of us continuing to turn this pressure up.”
The designation of Kim Jong-un’s brutal regime will allow the US to impose more sanctions.
President Donald Trump said: “In addition to threatening the world by nuclear devastation, North Korea has repeatedly supported acts of international terrorism, including assassinations on foreign soil.
“This designation will impose further sanctions and penalties on North Korea and related persons and supports our maximum pressure campaign to isolate the murderous regime.”
Over the past few months, North Korea has ramped up their testing of weapons and repeatedly threatened to strike the US territory of Guam.
China agreed to UN sanctions on the hermit state which would limit countries from importing North Korean crude oil, iron, lead and coal. Mr Trump has called for Beijing to do more to put pressure on North Korea.
