Defense Secretary Jim Mattis insisted the move was a practical necessity to accommodate the Olympics and was not a political gesture.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">In recent weeks, Trump and Kim have traded barbs about their arsenals and the \u201cnuclear button\u201d on their desks, raising fears the two countries could be drawing closer to war.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">On Sunday, CIA Director Mike Pompeo stressed his view that an attack from North Korea was not imminent, though the North appeared to be a few months away from reaching the capability of putting a U.S. city at risk of a nuclear attack. Pompeo defended Trump\u2019s tweets as appropriate and \u201cconsistent\u201d with U.S. goals of denuclearizing the Korean peninsula.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cThe president has made very clear that were going to do everything we can to do that in a way that doesn\u2019t involve military action,\u201d Pompeo said, \u201cbut has equally made clear that we\u2019re not going to stand for allowing Kim Jong Un to hold Los Angeles, or Denver, or New York at risk.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Expressing skepticism that North Korea was sincere in trying to improve relations, Pompeo added: \u201cWe\u2019ll just have to wait and see how the conversations go Tuesday.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Haley spoke on ABC\u2019s \u201cThis
