The United States President Donald Trump says the United Nations Security Council must be prepared to impose new sanctions on North Korea.

Tensions between the U-S and North Korea have been escalating over the country's missile and nuclear programs.

Mr Trump says North Korea is a real threat to the world and a problem that had to be solved.

The U-S wants the U-N to tighten sanctions further, while attempting to put fresh pressure on China to reign in its neighbour.

It's also sending an aircraft carrier to the Korean peninsula to make it clear that military action is an option.
