President Donald Trump on Tuesday said "all options are on the table" in response to North Korea after the isolated nation escalated tensions by firing a ballistic missile that passed over Japan. 

"The world has received North Korea's latest message loud and clear: this regime has signaled its contempt for its neighbors, for all members of the United Nations, and for minimum standards of acceptable international behavior," Trump said in a statement. 

"Threatening and destabilizing actions only increase the North Korean regime's isolation in the region and among all nations of the world. All options are on the table," he added.
