Washington – US\u00a0President Donald Trump on Tuesday brushed off concerns over North Korea’s “Christmas gift”\u00a0to the United States, saying he would handle it when it happens.<\/p>\n

“We’ll find out what the surprise is and we’ll deal with it very successfully. Let’s see what happens,” Trump told reporters at his Mar-a-Lago resort as the deadline loomed.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

Concerns over North Korea have intensified since Pyongyang imposed a year-end deadline for Washington to offer sanctions relief, promising an ominous “Christmas gift” if their demand is not met.<\/p>\n

Asked about the possibility of the gift being a long-range missile test, the president replied that “maybe it’s a nice present.”<\/p>\n

“Maybe it’s a present where he sends me a beautiful vase as opposed to a missile test,” Trump quipped.<\/p>\n
