Secretary of State Rex Tillerson said in an interview Sunday that President Trump wants to continue working toward a diplomatic solution to the North Korean threat "until the first bomb drops."
During an interview on CNN's "State of the Union," Tillerson said Trump is trying to "motivate action" on North Korea, adding that the president wants to be clear that he has military options on the table.
"The president has also made clear to me that he wants this solved diplomatically," Tillerson said. "He is not seeking to go to war."
He said Trump has made it clear Tillerson should continue his diplomatic efforts in North Korea.
"Those diplomatic efforts will continue until the first bomb drops," Tillerson said.
