Donald Trump says talking to North Korea 'is not the answer'
Donald Trump continued his war of words with the North Korean regime over Twitter on Wednesday afternoon.
On Tuesday, Trump told the media that "all options are on the table" in regards to how he felt best to deal with the rogue Asian state after Pyongyang launched a missile through Japanese airspace in defiance of the Western superpower.
The President tweeted from his personal account:
The U.S. has been talking to North Korea, and paying them extortion money, for 25 years. Talking is not the answer!

The launch on Tuesday, which comes on the heels of repeated threats from Kim Jong-un towards the Pacific Island of Guam, a US territory, has been seen as the most aggressive action taken by the hermit kingdom in nearly 20 years.
