Lipinski Blasts Trump’s ‘Fire and Fury’ Rhetoric Against North Korea

Congressman calls President Trump's comments on North Korean "reckless."

Congressman Dan Lipinski (IL-3) released the following statement today:

“President Trump’s recent comments regarding North Korea are extremely reckless, essentially mirroring the rhetoric we often hear from the Kim regime. When dealing with the safety and security of the American people and the world, the President needs to rise to the office he inhabits. He must work with his entire national security team and our regional allies in response to provocative actions by North Korea. They are a serious threat, but we need to see a more coordinated strategy coming out of the White House that is committed to exhausting all diplomatic options before considering anything else.”
