"And, the president has asked the National Security Council to integrate the efforts of the department of defense, state, intelligence agencies to provide options and have them ready for him if this pattern of destabilizing behavior continues and if the North Korean regime refuses to denuclearize."
(The military option is on the table?) 
"All options are on the table." 
 
He said that there is now a consensus with the Chinese leadership that the current North Korea situation can't continue and that Washington is working with its allies and Beijing to develop a range of options.
 
While spending the Easter weekend at his Florida resort, President Trump wrote on Twitter that the U.S. military is rapidly becoming stronger and the U.S. has no choice.
 
Trump also tweeted "Why would I call China a currency manipulator when they are working with us on the North Korean problem?"
 
"We will see what happens," he added, keeping other options open while pressuring China and North Korea.
