US President Donald Trump says he will deal with anything North Korea comes up with.
It’s after Pyongyang recently said it has a "Christmas gift" for America.

The North has threatened to take unspecified action if sanctions are not eased by the end of the year.
American military officials are expecting the regime to test a new long-range ballistic missile, capable of delivering a nuclear warhead.
