Trump boasts about US military might in affront to North Korea as he greets the troops at Yokota Air Force Base outside Tokyo

President Donald Trump warned America's enemies that the U.S. 'will never yield,
never wavier and never falter the defense of our people' on Sunday.
'American soldiers are prepared to defend their nation using the full range of our unmatched capabilities,' he said at Yokota Air Base just outside of Tokyo. 'No one, no dictator, no regime and no nation, should underestimate ever American resolve.’
Those that have underestimated in the U.S. in the past, 'it was not pleasant for them, was it,' Trump told American and Japanese troops stationed at the base in Western Tokyo.
Trump arrived in Japan this morning on the first leg of his marathon tour of East Asia.
Trump and his wife, Melania, the first lady of the United States, landed just before 11am local time on Sunday at Yokota, where the president promptly delivered remarks to a crowd of soldiers.
He was flanked by two fighter jets flown in just for the occasion – a F-16 from the Misawa Air Base in Japan and a F-35 from Marine Corps Air Station Iwakuni, a U.S. military official said. A C -130 transport plane that’s regularly assigned to Yokota nosed into the hanger as part of the display of American force.
