This comes after criticism from Democrats that the president has not done enough on the issue. "We're going to save a lot of money".

The recommendations were "to open up funding for the Department of Public Health - for instance, to open up more treatment beds, to create funding and make it easier for. first responders to use naloxone, which reverses opioid overdoses in the field", he says.

However, despite the rhetorical similarities between the "rain of ruin" and the "fire and fury", presidential historians like Michael Beschloss say Trump's language has been unusually harsh considering the context, noting that President John F. Kennedy's statements during the Cuban Missile Crisis were more muted and that President Dwight D. Eisenhower made a point of not matching the provocative tone of Soviet leader Nikita Khrushchev.

Trump's administration is balancing future action in Afghanistan with the President's past statements, including promises during the campaign to get the United States out of foreign conflicts.

Defense Secretary James Mattis said the administration was "pretty close" to a decision but weren't "going to meet some timeline if we are not ready". "But I can tell you that what they (North Korea) have been doing and what they've been getting away with is a tragedy. It's happened worldwide. This is a national emergency and we are drawing documents now to so attest".

"It's my hope that President Trump will be more engaged, be more active on this issue nationally, whether or not it required a declaration of emergency as opposed to other serious steps", he said. "We have trade with China".

It also said that China and Russian Federation should enhance coordination to let other parties know they would not stand aside should their security be threatened by the escalating tensions.

Earlier this year, the agency requested $60 million in additional funds to pay for protecting the President.
