The commander of the U.S. nuclear arsenal says he would not blindly carry out an ordered strike by President Donald Trump. "We are ready every minute of every day to respond to any event that comes out of North Korea," he said. He told the summit North Korea has deployed nearly a thousand short-range ballistic missiles and is close to being able to fire a nuclear missile capable of hitting targets in North America. One option is to re-deploy U.S. nuclear weapons on the peninsula. In my opinion, the more nuclear weapons we have in the world, the less secure the world is."
