North Korea-US: Diplomatic efforts till first bomb drops

The relation between US and North Korea is in a bad shape these days but according to Secretary of State Rex Tillerson, President Donald Trump had instructed him to continue diplomatic efforts to calm rising tensions with North Korea, saying “those diplomatic efforts will continue until the first bomb drops.”

Trump “has made it clear to me to continue my diplomatic efforts”, Tillerson said.

Tillerson's comments Sunday come amid soaring tensions between the United States and North Korea following a series of weapons tests by Pyongyang and a war of words between the two countries' leaders.
