Bridgewater, New Jersey (CNN)President Donald Trump reiterated his bellicose warning to North Korea from earlier in the week, telling reporters at his golf club in New Jersey on Thursday that
his threat to bring "fire and fury" if North Korea continued to threaten the United States may not have gone far enough.
"Maybe it wasn't tough enough," Trump said during a lengthy exchange with reporters.
Trump said that past administrations had not done enough to take on North Korea and that it is time a President "stuck up for the country."
Trump declined to rule out a preemptive strike on North Korea, saying he won't discuss potential military options.
Trump responded to North Korea's threat to hit Guam by mid-August with a threat of his own.
"Let's see what he does with Guam," Trump said in apparent reference to Kim Jong Un. "He does something in Guam, it will be an event the likes of which nobody has seen before."
"You'll see, you'll see. And he'll see," he said.
