Pentagon chief accuses NKorea of threatening 'catastrophe' - AP
The AP reports: "U.S. Defense Secretary Jim Mattis accused North Korea on Friday of
building a nuclear arsenal to “threaten others with catastrophe” and
said the Trump administration remains committed to compelling the North
to accept complete nuclear disarmament.
Calling the North a threat to global order, Mattis stood inside the
Demilitarized Zone that separates the two Koreas and pledged solidarity
with the South. [...] Mattis is emphasizing the Trump administration’s
push for a diplomatic solution to the problem. But he also has said the
U.S. is prepared to take military action if the North does not halt its
development of missiles that could strike the entirety of the United
States, potentially with a nuclear warhead."
Comment: I can't help but wonder what further diplomatic efforts they might have in mind?
