• Trump was reportedly warned of the threat that North Korean nuclear aggression could pose to Guam.
• He reportedly replied to former Chief of Staff John Kelly the US territory "isn't America."
• Guam has been under American control for over 120 years and its residents are US citizens.

When tensions escalated between the United States and North Korea early in former President Donald Trump's term, the US territory of Guam was particularly vulnerable.

The island, home to roughly 170,000 residents, sits in the Pacific Ocean hundreds of miles away from the Philippines, and sits within the range of North Korean missiles.

And according to a new report in The Atlantic, Trump was directly warned by then-White House Chief of Staff John Kelly about the unique threat that the island would face if North Korea were to start firing off nuclear weapons.

But Trump, according to the report, wasn't especially concerned.
