The US President Donald Trump told his French counterpart Emmanuel Macron today that the US is ready along with its allies to apply the full range of diplomatic, economic and military measures to stop the North Korean nuclear menace.

The White House informed that Trump and Macron spoke over phone and discussed the need to confront the increasingly dangerous situation regarding North Korea’s destabilising and escalatory behaviour. The phone call with the French President came hours after Trump spoke with Chinese President Xi Jinping.
