Trump: N. Korea cannot nuke US

Don’s tweet a warning to North: S. Korea

3: President-elect Donald Trump took to Twitter again on Tuesday to promise North Korea would not develop a nuclear missile capable of reaching US territory.

His comments come a day after the North Korean leader, Kim JongUn, appeared to try to put pressure on Mr Trump by announcing his country is in the “final stages” of developing an intercontinental ballistic missile (ICBM).

“North Korea just stated that it is in the final stages of developing a nuclear weapon capable of reaching parts of the US,” Mr Trump tweeted. “It won’t happen!”

Meanwhile, South Korea has said Mr Trump’s tweet is a “clear warning” to North Korea. “President-elect Trump’s message is significant since it is his first mention of North Korea’s nuclear programme and can be seen as a clear warning,” South Korean foreign ministry spokesman Cho June-Hyuck said.

TRUMP SLAMS GM

The President-elect on Tuesday slammed General Motors for selling some Mexican-made cars in the US on the same day he picked a Reagan-era protectionist as his trade envoy.

Taking to his preferred communication platform, Twitter, Mr Trump declared that “General Motors is sending Mexican made model of Chevy Cruze to US car dealerstax free across border. Make in USA or pay big border tax!”

GM emphasised that the vast majority of its Cruze cars sold in the US are made in Ohio, with just a small percentage imported from a plant near Texas. “All Chevrolet Cruze sedans sold in the US are built in GM’s assembly plant in Ohio,” it said.
