“Those diplomatic efforts will continue until the first bomb drops,” Tillerson said in an interview, this Sunday, on the CNN news channel, Efe news had reported.His statement came after Pyongyang threatened, last Friday, to fire missiles targeting an area close to the US island of Guam, in response to Washington’s military deployment in the region and a week after US President Donald Trump said that “only one thing will work” to put an end to the conflict, without explaining what that “one thing” was.
Tension between the two countries has grown exponentially due to the nuclear tests that North Korea has carried out in recent months, and which have been interpreted as a clear threat not only to the US but also to its main allies in the area, South Korea and Japan.
Tillerson also referred to the suspension of the nuclear pact with Iran, about which Trump said, last Friday, that he was ready to scrap the deal if its defects are not corrected.
