Trump appears to undermine Tillerson's efforts to resolve N. Korea nuclear issue

Our top story this afternoon...
U.S. President Donald Trump is continuing to goad North Korean leader Kim Jong-un,…
telling his Secretary of State Rex Tillerson not to waste time negotiating with Pyongyang.
Our Ji Myung-kil has more.
In a series of tweets on Sunday,...
President Trump appeared to undercut his own Secretary of State's diplomatic efforts to
resolve the nuclear standoff with North Korea Using his nickname for Kim Jong-un, Trump
said: "I told Rex Tillerson, our wonderful Secretary
of State, that he is wasting his time trying to negotiate with Little Rocket Man.
Save your energy Rex, we'll do what has to be done "
President Trump's comments came a day after Tillerson revealed the U.S. was directly communicating
with North Korea on its nuclear and missile programs but that Pyongyang had shown no interest.
During a trip to China,... Tillerson said Washington was probing North Korea to see
whether it was interested in dialogue and that it had a couple of channels open to talk
with Pyongyang.
Later Sunday evening... Trump took to Twitter again,... adding: "Being nice to Rocket Man
hasn't worked in 25 years, why would it work now?
Clinton failed, Bush failed, and Obama failed.
I won't fail."
Not long after Trump's final tweet on the matter,...
State Department Spokesperson Heather Nauert confirmed that diplomatic channels are open
for now but won't be open forever.
It's unclear how successful diplomatic communications will be in curbing North Korea's nuclear ambitions...
since the leaders of both countries have been locked in an escalating war of words.
North Korea has continued to test missiles and is threatening to explode a hydrogen bomb
over the Pacific Ocean and shoot down U.S. military aircraft off its coast.
