Donald Trump’s North Korea meeting was held the meeting in the situation room in the White House where US Presidents traditionally hold “war councils” at times of conflict.

The most senior US general recently told the American army to “stand ready” for war with North Korea.

General James 'Mad dog' Mattis warned it is impossible to tell what the future holds for the crisis, but urged US troops to be prepared for a confrontation with Kim Jong-un.

He said while Donald Trump is committed to finding a diplomatic solution, the US Army must "stand ready" to fight.

The move comes after North Korea issued its latest warning to the USA which described Mr Trump as a “lunatic” and said he needed to be prepared for “total destruction”.

The statement was bizarrely issued by a spokesman for North Korea’s ‘Emergency Measure Committee for Opposing Nuclear War Drills against the DPRK’.

The spokesman said: “The evil cycle of escalation of tension persists and the danger of the outbreak of a nuclear war mounts on the Korean peninsula.

“It is because the US and the puppet forces are planning to keep the US strategic assets in and around south Korea on a permanent basis by expanding the scale of their deployment while kicking up the racket of nuclear war drills against the North.”
