Military action against North Korea “on the table”, says Tillerson

Era of "strategic patience" is over, says U.S. Secretary of State

U.S. Secretary of State Rex Tillerson at a press conference on Friday in Seoul refused to rule out military action against North Korea, saying that "all options are on the table".

"We do not want for things to get to a military conflict, but if North Korea takes actions that threaten our forces, and our allies' forces, then that will be met," he said.
