He didn&#8217;t specify North Korea, but the context was clear enough.  <br\/> <\/div> <div> <br\/> <\/div> <div>  &#8220;If you violate international agreements, if you fail to live up to commitments, if you become a threat to others, at some point a response is likely to be undertaken,&#8221; Tillerson told ABC&#8217;s &#8220;This Week.&#8221;  <br\/> <br\/> <\/div><\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">There was little doubt the missile strikes would be seen in Pyongyang as a message. The North has long claimed that the U.S. is preparing some kind of assault against it and justifies its nuclear weapons as defensive in nature. <br\/> <br\/><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">U.S. Navy ships are a common presence in the Korean Peninsula region and serve in part as a show of force. On Saturday night, the Pentagon said a Navy carrier strike group was moving toward the western Pacific Ocean to provide more of a physical presence in the region. <br\/> <br\/><\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">President Donald Trump&#8217;s national security adviser, H.R. McMaster, described the decision to send the carrier group as &#8220;prudent.&#8221; He said Trump and Chinese president Xi Jinping had agreed that North Korea&#8217;s pattern of &#8220;provocative behavior&#8221; was unacceptable and the U.S. was acting accordingly. <br\/> <br\/><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">&#8220;This is a rogue regime that is now a nuclear-capable regime. &#8230;So the president has asked us to be prepared to give him a full range of options to remove that threat to the American people and our allies and partners in that region,&#8221; McMaster said on &#8220;Fox News Sunday.&#8221; <br\/> <br\/><\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"2000\" height=\"1429\" src=\"\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/08\/ap17099300481595.jpg.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-80725\" srcset=\"https:\/\/one.sightlinemg.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/08\/ap17099300481595.jpg.jpg 2000w, https:\/\/one.sightlinemg.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/08\/ap17099300481595.jpg.jpg?resize=300,214 300w, https:\/\/one.sightlinemg.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/08\/ap17099300481595.jpg.jpg?resize=768,549 768w, https:\/\/one.sightlinemg.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/08\/ap17099300481595.jpg.jpg?resize=1024,732 1024w, https:\/\/one.sightlinemg.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/08\/ap17099300481595.jpg.jpg?resize=1536,1097 1536w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 2000px) 100vw, 2000px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><span>In this Feb. 13, 2017, file photo, a man watches a TV news program showing photos published in North Korea&#8217;s Rodong Sinmun newspaper of North Korea&#8217;s &#8220;Pukguksong-2&#8221; missile launch, at Seoul Railway station in Seoul, South Korea.<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><span>Photo Credit: Ahn Young-joon\/AP<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">North Korea has pledged to bolster its defenses to protect against airstrikes. The North called the U.S. action in Syria &#8220;absolutely unpardonable&#8221; and said it proves that its nuclear weapons are justified to protect the country against Washington&#8217;s &#8220;evermore reckless moves for a war.&#8221; <br\/> <br\/><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The comments were made by a Foreign Ministry official and carried by North Korea&#8217;s state-run Korean Central News Agency on Sunday. The report did not name the official, which is common in KCNA reports. <br\/> <br\/><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">In appearances on the Sunday news shows, Tillerson said advances in North Korea&#8217;s ballistic missile program concerned the U.S. the most. Asked on ABC if development of an intercontinental missile was a &#8220;red line&#8221; for Trump, Tillerson said: &#8220;If we judge that they have perfected that type of delivery system, then that becomes a very serious stage of their further development.&#8221; <br\/> <br\/><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The missile strikes against Syria&#8217;s Assad-led government took place Thursday night as President Donald Trump hosted Chinese President Xi Jinping for dinner at Trump&#8217;s Florida estate. Among the topics of discussion was the vexing problem of North Korea. <br\/> <br\/><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">&#8220;I think there&#8217;s a shared view and no disagreement as to how dangerous the situation has become,&#8221; Tillerson said on CBS&#8217; &#8220;Face the Nation&#8221;. &#8220;And I think even China is beginning to recognize that this presents a threat &#8230; to China&#8217;s interests as well.&#8221; <br\/> <br\/><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Trump and South Korea&#8217;s leader, acting President Hwang Kyo-Ahn, spoke by phone on Friday, according to the White House, which said they agreed to stay in close contact about North Korea and other issues. <br\/> <br\/><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Trump has said China, with its ties to North Korea, should deal with its neighbor, but that the U.S. was prepared to act on its own if necessary.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Secretary of State Rex Tillerson says the U.S. missile strikes against a Syrian air base in retaliation for a chemical weapon attack carries a message for any nation operating outside of international norms.
