The United States calculated last month that up to 60 nuclear weapons are now controlled by North Korean leader Kim Jong Un. Some independent experts think the number is much smaller.<\/p>\n<p>The findings are likely to deepen concerns about an evolving North Korean military threat that appears to be advancing far more rapidly than many experts had predicted. U.S. officials concluded last month that Pyongyang is also outpacing expectations in its effort to build an intercontinental ballistic missile capable of striking the American mainland.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>According to <a href=\"http:\/\/www.cnn.com\/2017\/08\/08\/politics\/north-korea-missile-ready-nuclear-weapons\/\">CNN<\/a>, President Trump is meeting the threat with his usual bluster;<\/p>\n<blockquote><p>&#8220;North Korea best not make any more threats to the United States. They will be met with fire and fury like the world has never seen&#8230; he has been very threatening beyond a normal state.
