General H.R. McMaster, who serves as Mr Trump’s National Security Advisor, has been carrying out a “whispering campaign” for an imminent military strike against Kim Jong-un.
The top US security official believes that a preventive war is the only option left “to forcibly denuclearizing the regime” in North Korea.
Tensions between North Korea and the US remain high – despite a breakthrough with talks between South Korea and their communist neighbours.
According to the reports, General McMaster has been probing support for a sudden blitz on the North Korean state as a way for the US to “reassert itself” on the world stage.
The bloody nose strike would involve a limited US strike on North Korea as a warning shot and a way to damage specific missile sites.

However, experts warn such a deadly move would kill “hundreds of thousands of North Koreans” and trigger World War 3.
Journalist Gareth Porter told RT: “There would be an unprecedented number killed among North Korean civilians, with tens of thousands of US officials killed also at risk from a Pyongyang response.”
Secretary of State Rex Tillerson and Secretary of Defense James Mattis are working against General McMaster, as they push diplomatic solutions.
Earlier this week, the military general compared the North Korean crisis to 1914, the year World War One began, and condemned other global powers for taking a “holiday from history”.
Asked about the North Korean crisis in December, General McMaster said, “We’re not committed to a peaceful resolution — we’re committed to a resolution.
“We have to be prepared if necessary to compel the denuclearization of North Korea without the cooperation of that regime.”
The threat of a military campaign against Kim Jong-un’s regime follows reports that the US army has been training thousands of soldiers how to fight in North Korea’s massive network of underground tunnels.
Retired Army colonel Dave Maxwell explained: “I think it’s necessary, not just for U.S. troops but for South Korean troops as well.
“There are about 5,000 of these tunnels. The North Koreans are like mole people.”
