Donald Trump has dismissed North Korea’s claim to be developing missiles capable of striking America.<\/p>\n
In a tweet, the US president-elect derided the claim by North Korea’s Kim Jong-un that preparations were in the final stage, saying: “It won’t happen.”<\/p>\n
It was not clear if Mr Trump was expressing doubts about North Korea’s nuclear capabilities or was planning preventative action.<\/p>\n
Mr Trump also berated China for failing to help rein in its ally North Korea.<\/p>\n
“China has been taking out massive amounts of money & wealth from the U.S. in totally one-sided trade, but won’t help with North Korea. Nice!” Mr Trump tweeted.<\/p>\n
