President Trump further escalated the war of words with North Korea Friday morning[1], saying the US was ready to respond militarily should the rogue nation "act unwisely."

"Military solutions are now fully in place, locked and loaded, should North Korea act unwisely. Hopefully Kim Jong Un will find another path!" he tweeted.

Trump has refused to back down in his verbal confrontation with the North Korean leader, suggesting to reporters Thursday that his threat to unleash "fire and fury" may not have gone far enough.

The standoff between the two nuclear nations has unsettled regional allies, which are scrambling to work out how to respond to the sudden escalation.
