Tillerson says US Will Keep up 'Peaceful Pressure' on North Korea

by Reuters

   WASHINGTON --

   U.S. Secretary of State Rex Tillerson said on Sunday the firing of
   three ballistic missiles by North Korea this week was a provocative act
   but that the United States will continue to seek a peaceful resolution.

   "We do view it as a provocative act against the United States and our
   allies," Tillerson said in an interview on "Fox News Sunday." "We're
   going to continue our peaceful pressure campaign as I have described
   it, working with allies, working with China as well to see if we can
   bring the regime in Pyongyang to the negotiating table."
