Trump rejects diplomacy as a tool to counter North Korea

US President Donald Trump tweeted that "talking is not the answer" to counter North Korea's military ambitions. His statement comes after the North alarmingly launched a ballistic missile over Japan on Tuesday, which Tokyo, a US ally, described as an "unprecedented" threat. Earlier, Trump had said, "all options are on the table" against Pyongyang. Trump's recent statements could indicate he's considering military action.

North Korea launches ballistic missile over Japan

On August 29, the South Korean military said a North Korean ballistic missile was fired toward the East from a site near Pyongyang. It covered a distance of 2700 km, reaching up to a maximum altitude of 550 km and flew over the Japanese island of Hokkaido. Local media reported that the missile broke into three pieces before dropping in the North Pacific Ocean.

North says missile launch a "prelude" to Pacific military operations

On August 30, North Korean state media KCNA News quoted leader Kim Jong-un as saying that the missile launch was "the first step of the military operation… in the Pacific and a meaningful prelude to containing Guam." The North has repeatedly called the US Pacific territory of Guam "an advanced base of invasion." Kim had earlier threatened to attack Guam but subsequently backed down.

Disagreement
Secretary of defense refutes Trump, says diplomacy not ruled out

When asked if America had lost hope in diplomacy, US Secretary of Defense Jim Mattis openly disagreed with Trump, saying: "No. We are never out of diplomatic solutions." Mattis spoke beside his South Korean counterpart, Song Young-moo, at the Pentagon. "We continue to work together, and the minister and I share a responsibility to provide for the protection of our nations," he added.

Russian statement
Russia says only diplomacy can de-escalate tensions

Russian Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov told his American counterpart Rex Tillerson in a phone call that diplomacy was the sole means of de-escalating tensions in the Korean Peninsula. Lavrov reportedly said a military solution would be "fraught with unpredictable consequences." He said further sanctions on the North would be counter-productive. Meanwhile, a North Korean diplomat rejected the "fabricated" stories blaming Pyongyang for ratcheting tensions.
