US Stocks Fall As North Korea announces plan to attack. by Princefrankie1(m): 3:28pm On Aug 11, 2017
US stocks saw their largest losses since May on Thursday, as tensions mounted between North Korea and the US.

The Dow Jones fell 0.9% to 21,844.01 and S&P 500 fell 1.5% to 2,438.21.

The Nasdaq lost 2.1% to 6,216.87.

North Korea has announced plans to fire
missiles near the US territory of Guam.


North Korea claims it has missiles capable of reaching the US mainland, but its latest threat is against Guam, a much closer target.

The small island in the Pacific is home to an important strategic US airbase, US nuclear bombers and about 6,000 troops along with some 165,000 civilians. It's a US territory, so an attack on Guam would be an attack on the US.

Meanwhile, President Donald Trump has responded to the threat and intensified his rhetoric, saying North Korea should be "very, very nervous" if it does anything to the US.

He said that the US military is "locked and loaded" to deal with North Korea.

"Military solutions are now fully in place, locked and loaded, should North Korea act unwisely. Hopefully Kim Jong-un will find another path!" he tweeted.
