President Trump Says The U.S. Is Sending A 'Very Powerful' Armada To North Korea



Daily Mail: Trump says the U.S. is sending a 'very powerful' armada to North Korea as he refuses to say Kim Jong-un is 'mentally fit' – only that he's doing the 'wrong thing'

* President Trump spoke with Fox News amid rising tensions with North Korea
* He refused to say what his plan was, saying: 'You never know'
* The U.S. has dispatched a naval strike group to the area following repeated ballistic missile tests by the hermit kingdom
* Says the U.S. is sending a powerful 'armada'
* North Korea said it was 'keenly watching' enemy elements and issued more threats and has threatened nuclear attacks against the U.S.

President Donald Trump said repeatedly that North Korea's president Kim Jong-un is doing the 'wrong thing' as he talked up the power of the U.S. 'armada' heading toward the tense Korean peninsula.

Asked whether he considers Kim mentally fit, Trump told Fox News: 'I don't know. I don't know. I don't know him. But he's doing the wrong thing.'

He held back from interviewer Maria Bartiromo what his plans might be – as he stated the immense capabilities of the naval strike group that is en route.
