WASHINGTON—President Donald Trump said on Tuesday that the United States is “totally prepared” for a military option against North Korea if needed, but that it’s not the preferred option.

“If we take that option, it will be devastating, I can tell you that. Devastating for North Korea,” Trump told reporters in the Rose Garden at the White House during a joint press briefing with Spanish Prime Minister Mariano Rajoy.
