SCMP: A third of US supports military action against North Korea

But most Japanese and Americans view President Trump’s handling of Pyongyang to be inappropriate

One third of US citizens support military action in North Korea and 40 per cent want to see Japan and South Korea armed with nuclear missiles, a new survey has revealed.

The poll of US and Japanese citizens was conducted by Japanese think tank Genron NPO and the University of Maryland, and shows a substantial proportion of the US is prepared to go to war.

However, the peacemakers are just about winning out in America, with 44.2 per cent of US citizens saying they are opposed to military action on the Korean Peninsula.

And Japanese citizens take a more measured approach than their American cousins, with most people against both military options and arming themselves with nuclear weapons.
