Tillerson: Diplomacy will continue until the first bomb is dropped (Genesis Thomas)
On a report that CNN published Sunday, Secretary of State Rex Tillerson said his continued efforts for diplomacy will continue until the first bomb is dropped. However, this is not a comforting message considering the disconnection between Tillerson and Trump on his actions for diplomacy. Tillerson claims that Trump doesn't want to go to war and that he is in full support of settling things with North Korea diplomatically. However, Trump tweeted that diplomacy will not work with North Korea and that Tillerson was wasting his time. These contradictory statements could possibly undermine Tillerson's efforts to settle things peacefully with North Korea, but Tillerson claims that Trump's tweets are simply to motivate action from North Korea. However, this does not calm the minds of the North Koreans and the North Korean State Media KCNA called the U.S. moves reckless and will force the North Koreans to take counteractions. They see Trump as a "war merchant and stranger of peace."
