‘Give me 10x more nukes’

-

DONALD Trump demanded a ten-fold increase in America’s nuclear arsenal, it is claimed.

The US president’s demands were confirmed by three people in the meeting, NBC News said.

But Mr Trump tweeted yesterday: “Fake @NBCNEWS made up a story. Pure fiction.”

NBC said the President wanted a huge increase in the USA’S 4,000 nuclear warheads. After the July meeting, US Secretary of State Rex Tillerson called Mr Trump a “moron,” according to NBC.

The row came as Kim Jong-un was claimed to have nukes capable of reaching London and cities on the west coast of America “after modernisat­ion”.

Russian MP Anton Morozov said he believed North Korea’s new missiles would have a range of 9,000km (5,593 miles). Seattle is 5,134 miles from Pyongyang, and London 5,379 miles.
