Following North Korea’s sixth nuclear test, President Trump warned countries doing business with North Korea may no longer trade with the United States.
“The United States is considering, in addition to other options, stopping all trade with any country doing business with North Korea,” tweeted President Trump on Sunday afternoon.
U.S. halting all trade with other countries would have massive economic ramifications for the global economy. Below is a list of top U.S. trading partners.
On Sunday, reporter John Bennett with CQ Roll Call asked, “Mr. President, will you attack North Korea. With First Lady Melania standing with him, Trump nodded his head, said, “We’ll see. Thank you”, gave a wave of his right hand and walked to the waiting motorcade without saying anything further.

Do it. You will see China take him out themselves. He needs to defund Obamacare by executive order and remove exemptions for Congress, corporations, etc... They will repeal it immediately.
That may get China to act.

Back the fat boy into a corner and he’ll nuke SK and Taiwan. The best plan is to take him out and get it over with. China will respond to economic strikes. They will do nothing but complain to taking Un out. They don’t want a war anymore than anyone else.
Sanctions have not worked in the past and won’t work in the future. There will always be trade to this regime unless you put in a land,air and sea blockade.
The bottom line is NK will end up untouched and belligerent.
Move on!!!!!!!! We’ve done this sanction crap for decades they were failures just like immigration.!!
Betcha Jimmy Peanut or Baracky runs the blockade and conducts “peace negotiations” with Fat Boy.
If by “act” you mean invade Taiwan, then yes indeed.
Trump and North Korea; doing - step by step increases in pressure - what should have been done for decades now.
Peace treaty direct negotiations, just the U.S. and the regime if North Korea (that’s what the Kims have always insisted on)? How could the U.S. accept North Korea’s dismissal of South Korea as an essential and main party to a treaty? We can’t and won’t.
North Korea, continues its own internal fiction that it is the only rightful government of all Korea, and the South Korean government a mere puppet regime of the U.S., which is 180 degrees counter from the U.S. position that the war is a war against South Korea, which the U.S. joined as an ally, and the U.N. backed other nations to support.
Trump is doing what Kennedy, Johnson, Nixon, Carter, Reagan, G.H.W. Bush, Slick Willy, G.W.Bush, Obama should have done and did not do. Collectively they as much as determined that North Korea would have nuclear weapons, and chose “hope” over materially determining to PREVENT it.
China has lots of new military toys some internal cliques would love to try out, plus they have a huge surplus of males that need to shrink. War would fix a lot of things internally. Don’t count them out.
Well we aren’t doing any biz with Iran, who is NK largest trade partner. This will be a nothing burger.
Send in some mercs and eliminate this POS and his upper henchman.
“Sanctions have not worked in the past and won’t work in the future.”
Sanctions just increase the profit margin for those who still do business with blacklisted countries.
That’s a good idea.
Why warn? Just do it. Start with China. Bet Korean problem solved in days of first ship turned back or cargo embargoed or seized. This really is a good non-violent way to solve the North Korean problem. China is North Korea’s largest and almost only trading partner. Shut that down and North Korea starves. Cost to China is miniscule. It might hurt us in US—loss of all those Chinese-made products—but that would be temporary and much preferred to the loss of millions of American lives.
“We’ll see.” usually means “no”! (at least in my house)
40 million homosexuals in China. Due in part to shortage of female partners. Good thing the ocean separates us!!!!
Could be mr. trump may be keeping a few+ $h!theads uo nites by his remarks/lack thereof....’prolly picked that up somewhere around internet/tweets w’ever...
