President Donald Trump has brushed off North Korea's warning of a"Christmas gift", saying the United States would"deal with it very successfully", amid concerns that Pyongyang might be preparing a long-range missile test.
"We'll find out what the surprise is and we'll deal with it very successfully," Mr Trump told reporters at his Mar-a-Lago resort on Tuesday."We'll see what happens." Mr Trump has repeatedly held up the test suspensions as evidence that his policy of engaging with North Korea works.
