Washington: U.S. Secretary of State Rex Tillerson said on Wednesday that President Donald Trump was trying to send a strong message to North Korea when he said it would face "fire and fury" if it threatened the United States.
Speaking to reporters before landing in Guam, a U.S.-held Pacific island that Pyongyang threatened to strike, Tillerson said North Korea`s rhetoric had ratcheted up in the face of international opposition to its nuclear program.
"So I think the president, what the president is doing is sending a strong message to North Korea in language that Kim Jong Un would understand, because he doesn`t seem to understand diplomatic language," Tillerson said.
