Diplomacy with North Korea to continue until 'first bomb drops': Tillerson

Washington D.C. [USA] Oct. 16 (ANI): US Secretary of State Rex Tillerson on Sunday asserted that his diplomatic efforts to relax tensed relations with North Korea will continue "until the first bomb drops".

Tillerson averred that United States President Donald Trump has instructed him to try and reduce stress between the two nations through diplomatic efforts.

"Those diplomatic efforts will continue until the first bomb drops," Tillerson said, reported CNN.

Tillerson said President Trump has always stressed on solving the nuclear testing issue of North Korea diplomatically.

"The president has also made clear to me that he wants this solved diplomatically," Tillerson said.
