President Trump defends his warning, saying it's not a "dare" but a "statement." Kicking the North Korean nuclear threat can down the road, as has been the case over the last decade, is no longer an option.

That message came after the president doubled down on his promise to unleash "fire and fury" on North Korea if its dictator makes any more threats to attack the U.S. territory of Guam.

"Let's see what he does with Guam. If he does something in Guam, it will be an event the likes of which nobody has seen before, what will happen in North Korea," Trump told reporters Thursday at his golf club in Bedminster, New Jersey.

"It's not a dare. It's a statement," Trump continued. "He's not going to go around threatening Guam and he's not going to threaten the United States and he's not going to threaten Japan, and he's not going to threaten South Korea."

Trump also responded to concerns that his threat that North Korea could face "fire and fury" was too inflammatory.

"Frankly, the people that were questioning that statement, was it too tough? Maybe it wasn't tough enough," he said.

"He has disrespected our country greatly. He has said things that are horrific. With me, he's not getting away with it. He got away with it for a long time between him and his family. He's not getting away with it. It's a whole new ball game." (Screengrab via CBN News)

Trump is not backing down but he's also not saying what's next. He wouldn't discuss his plans on a possible preemptive strike.

"I will tell you this, North Korea better get their act together or they're going to be in trouble like few nations have ever been in trouble in this world," he said.

Trump is again making his position clear and while the U.S. is still committed to diplomacy, the world is waiting to see if North Korea follows through on its threat.
