‘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.
