North korea leader kim jongun trading threats with president trump. The rogue nation said it would attack the nate territory of guam. This comes after mr.

Nbc bay areas tom general son is in San Francisco where people with family on both sides of the korean border are very concerned tonight. Tom. Reporter thats right, raj. We talked to a lot of people who were really concerned about even talking to us here in the United States, that their families could be retaliated against, their extended families in north korea. But we did talk to one woman from south korea who said that theyve almost become accustomed to this, the threats and the fear that theyve lived with for years. It is a faceoff between two of the most controversial world leaders. President trump laying down an ultimatum to pyongyang that it better ends its Nuclear Weapons tests. They will be met with fire and fury like the world has never seen. Reporter and north koreas supreme leader, kim jongun, immediately making a serious threat, a promise to attack the u. S. Territory of guam. Korean citizens are not taking the highlycharged words by both sides lightly. I think it is important intense because our new leader in north korea. Reporter and yong chang who is a south korean student here says since kim jongun took power six years ago her family learned to live with the threats. But the war of words between the president and north koreas leader is something theyve not heard before. This time they are a little bit more threatened. Reporter retired u. S. General wesley clark told nbc news never before has a u. S. President issued such a strong directive to north korea and its erratic leader. I think the United States has to be very careful in describing its own objectives. Reporter yong chang said her family has almost learned to outwardly laugh off his fears of military attacks rather than live in fear. If it happens, happens. Good thing is were all together. Reporter thats another sentiment we heard from a few people today, if it happens, it happens. Theres nothing we can really do about it.

Speaking of that country, organizers of the games actually changed the regions name, capitalizing the c so people wont confuse it with pyongyang, the north korean capital. Still, the relationship to their neighbor to the north will likely be something that may dominate these games.
