Once again Washington is sending mixed signals on ways to deal with North Korea.
President Trump said "talking is not the answer",... when his defense chief reiterated "all options",
including diplomacy, are on the table.
Here's Connie Kim to help provide some clarity on the matter.
U.S. Secretary of Defense James Mattis leaped at the opportunity to clarify his stance after
he came under-fire for seemingly undermining President Trump's views on how to deal with
North Korea.
Ahead of his meeting with South Korea's Defense Minister Song Young-moo on Wednesday, Mattis
said Washington is never out of diplomatic solutions … in an apparent rejection of
President Trump's earlier tweet where he said "talks were not the answer" following the
North's ballistic missile launch over Japan.
The defense chief's comments sparked speculation that the two were not in lockstep on Pyongyang.
Meeting with reporters on Thursday,... Mattis insisted this was not the case and asserted
the media had misinterpreted his remarks.
The defense chief said he agrees with the president and stressed that Washington should
not be talking to a nation that fires missiles over its allies,... but Mattis said the U.S.
isn't done with diplomacy.
The White House also reiterated on Thursday that all options -- diplomatic, economic,
and military -- are on the table in regards to North Korea.
A matter of days after Secretary of State Rex Tillerson praised Pyongyang for showing
restraint,... signalling Washington was open to dialogue,... the regime fired its ballistic
missile on Tuesday,... prompting the U.S. to seek fresh measures against the North.
