Trump Designates North Korea as State Sponsor of Terrorism
----------------------------------------------------------

President Trump has officially designated North Korea as a state sponsor
of terrorism, escalating the rising tensions between the two countries.
Other countries on the list are: Sudan, Syria and Iran. The diplomatic
move comes amid an escalating threat of nuclear war, with Trump
repeatedly threatening to "totally destroy" North Korea and to unleash
"fire and fury" on the nation of 25 million people. This is Secretary of
State Rex Tillerson.

Bq. Rex Tillerson: "I call it the peaceful pressure campaign, the
President calls it the maximum pressure campaign, so there is no
confusion, they are one in the same. And I think this is to hold North
Korea accountable for a number of actions that they have taken."
