Guam Gov. Eddie Baza Calvo on Wednesday reassured the U.S. territory’s residents and pushed back after North Korea’s latest saber-rattling.

North Korea threatened a missile strike on a U.S. military base on Guam, with the bellicose message coming early Wednesday from that isolated Asian nation after U.S. President Donald Trump said on Tuesday he would respond with “fire and fury like the world has never seen” if North Korea doesn’t halt its threats.

Trump’s comments came after a Washington Post report said North Korea has built a miniaturized nuclear warhead

Guam’s governor: ‘There is no threat’ but American island ‘will be defended’

Calvo aimed to soothe at the start of a video message.

“I want to reassure the people of Guam that currently there is no threat to our island or the Marianas,” the governor said.

“My Homeland Security adviser, who is in communications with Homeland Security and the Department of Defense, notes there is no change in the threat level resulting from North Korea events.”

He then said he had spoken with White House officials, who promised to protect the largest of the Marianas Islands.

Calvo also suggested reporters aren’t giving the full picture when it comes to the U.S. territory in the western Pacific Ocean.

“I also want to remind the national media that Guam is American soil, and we have 200,000 Americans in Guam and the Marianas. We are not just a military installation,” he said.

Special Address August 9, 2017: Response to North Korea threat

Hafa Adai my dear people of Guam, 

I know we woke up to media reports of North Korea’s talk of revenge on the United States and this so-called new-found technology that allows them to target Guam. I am working with Homeland Security, the Rear Admiral, and the United States to ensure our safety.  I want to reassure the people of Guam that currently there is no threat to our island or the Marianas. I spoke to Joint Region Marianas Commander Rear Admiral Shoshana Chatfield who confirmed this with me.  My Homeland Security Advisor who is in communications with Homeland Security and Department of Defense notes that there is no change in threat level resulting from North Korea events. HSA George Charfauros reminds us that there are several levels of defense all strategically placed to protect our island and our nation. 

Additionally, I have reached out to the White House this morning. An attack or threat to Guam is a threat or attack on the United States. They have said that America will be defended.  I also want to remind national media that Guam is American soil and we have 200,000 Americans in Guam and the Marianas. We are not just a military installation. With that said, I want to ensure that we are prepared for any eventuality. I will be convening the Unified Coordination Group, which includes myself and the Rear Admiral, to discuss the state of readiness of our military and our local first responders. 

My office will continue to provide information to our community. What information we are given, we will pass it on to you.

ARE YOU COMPLETELY PREPARED & PROTECTED?  

The Bible tells us that every human has sinned and fallen short of the glory of God which is  is a heart-penetrating truth. He has provided a way to cleanse us of our sins since we can never be “good enough” to cleanse ourselves. That avenue to God’s grace, mercy and forgiveness (the cleansing of our sins) is through His only begotten Son, Jesus Christ of Nazareth Who is equally God.

 Not one of us are guaranteed a “tomorrow”. Has your time run out? Will you continue to ignore the promptings of God the Holy Spirit or have you awakened to the essential need for God, risking eternal damnation?

​​God the Holy Father, God the Holy Son and God the Holy Spirit are One God, the true, living, uncreated God Who is ever-present, all knowing, all powerful and all loving. He desires that every single person be forgiven, saved and to live eternally with Him. He is our only real protection and His love for you is unchanging. Accept Jesus Christ as your Savior, the true Messiah, today.

 You can’t take your salvation for a test drive. You’re all-in or not.

 Admit to Him that you are a sinner in need of forgiveness, that you are truly sorry for your sins.  Acknowledge that He died for your sins, rose from the dead and lives forevermore. Invite Him into your life and to help you to turn from sin. Rejoice! You just became a Christian! Now trust in Him and get to know Him through the Bible which tells us everything we need to know and through prayer/talking to Him. He eagerly desires relationship with you.
