The United States has been keeping a close on threats from North Korea, and the Commander of STRATCOM at Offutt Air Force Base John Hyten spoke about he will handle nuclear talks with President Trump over the weekend. 

"He'll tell me what to do and if it's illegal, guess what's going to happen. I'm going to say 'Mr. President, that's illegal.'" General Hyten said while speaking to a crowd in Canada. "And guess what he's going to do, he's going to say 'what's legal,' and we'll come up with options and we'll respond whatever the situation is and that's the way it works."
