North Korea threatened to send the United States a little "Christmas Gift," which prompted many to rise early to make sure Guam was still safe. As the day went on, however, it seemed the so-called "present" was delayed.
Christmas Eve, The Washington Post reported that while Kim Jong Un was supposed to stop creating missiles as denuclearization discussions were going on, it actually never happened.
"North Korea’s last ICBM was powerful enough to reach the U.S. East Coast. Was this a new booster for the same ICBM? Or something different? No one knew, but experts fear that the world could soon find out," said the report.
"The experiment at North Korea’s Sohae test stand — one of two at the complex in the past month — has fueled speculation about the nature of the 'Christmas gift' that leader Kim Jong Un promised if nuclear talks with the Trump administration remained stalled. Satellite cameras in recent weeks have spotted preparatory work at several locations where North Korea assembled or tested missiles in the past," the report continued.
Trump blew off the threats, opting to return to the golf course at Mar-a-Lago instead of sitting at the helm of the American national security apparatus.
Whether or not North Korea will deliver on their threat by the end of Christmas, it prompted the internet to joke about the delay. Check out the comments below:
