US not to drop diplomacy with N.Korea until ‘first bomb drops’, says Tillerson

Share
In an exclusive interview with CNN, Tillerson downplayed Trump's Twitter messages, suggesting Tillerson was wasting his time trying to negotiate with 'Little Rocket Man,' a sobriquet coined by Trump for North Korea’s leader Kim Jong Un.
...Save your energy Rex, we'll do what has to be done!

'Trump has made it clear to me to continue my diplomatic efforts,' Tillerson said.
Tillerson’s comments come amid burgeoning tensions between the United States and North Korea following a series of weapons tests by Pyongyang and verbal spat between the two countries’ leaders.
North Korea has conducted a series of nuclear tests in recent weeks and launched two missiles over Japan.
In response, US conducted a joint military exercise with South Korea last week, flying two strategic bombers over the Korean peninsula apparently to send a strong message to its arch nemesis North Korea.
Tillerson has been in talks with China for detente between the Trump-led US and Un led North Korea.
“Rest assured that the Chinese are not confused in any way” about the American policy towards North Korea, he added.
