Trump says 'only one thing will work' with North Korea
WASHINGTON  (Reuters) - U.S. President Donald Trump  on Saturday said âonly one thing will workâ in dealing with North Korea after previous administrations had talked to Pyongyang without results.
âPresidents and their administrations have been talking to North Korea for 25 years  agreements made and massive amounts of money paid â  Trump  said in a tweet. â...Hasnât worked  agreements violated before the ink was dry  making fools of U.S. negotiators. Sorry  but only one thing will work!â
 Trump  did not make clear to what  he  was referring  but  his  comments seemed to be a further suggestion that military action was on  his  mind.
 The president  has previously said the United States would âtotally destroyâ North Korea if necessary to protect itself and its allies from Pyongyangâs nuclear threats.
Earlier this week  during a meeting with top U.S. military leaders and their spouses   Trump  told reporters it was the âcalm before the storm.â Asked for clarification then on what  he  meant   Trump  said: âYouâll find out.â
Speaking to reporters on Saturday ahead of a trip to North Carolina   Trump  said  he  had nothing more to clarify.

Asked on Saturday about  Trump âs tweet  Sanders said she had nothing to add to the presidentâs comments.
 Trump  repeatedly has made clear  his  distaste for dialogue with North Korea. On Sunday  he  dismissed the idea of talks as a waste of time  a day after Secretary of State Rex Tillerson said Washington was maintaining open lines of communication with North Korean leader Kim Jong Unâs government.
 Trump  said on Saturday that  he  had a good relationship with  his  secretary of state despite some disagreements.
âWe have a very good relationship. We disagree on a couple of things. Sometimes Iâd like  him  to be a little bit tougher  but other than that we have a very good relationship â  he  said.
