Trump would at the least be obligated to tell Tokyo he is going to pull the trigger, giving them time to evacuate Japanese. This of course will cause mass panic and US residents and others might storm their diplomatic facilities in Seoul or attempt to gain access to US bases asking to be air evac’ed out. That is my take at least. I doubt they can have them in harm’s way. One thing is for sure. Journalist or not, it is NOT a wise time to be in Pyongyang reporting on matters. They could take all those Westerners in a flat second as “human shields”.

I agree that it is not a wise move considering that, as recently as a few weeks ago, N. Koreans took hostage all personnel of Malaysian Embassy in Pyongyang in order to get Kim Jong-nam’s body and the safe passage of prime suspects for Kim's assassination holed up in N. Korean Embassy in Kuala Lumpur.
