In the wake of the recent nuclear provocations by the North Korean regime, Philippine President Rodrigo Duterte has described North Korean leader Kim Jong-un as a "fool", just days before Manila hosts an global meeting most certain to address Pyongyang's long-range missile tests.
White House National Security Advisor H.R. McMaster in a new interview emphasized the "grave threat" North Korea's nuclear ambitions pose to the United States.
'Because he has the whole world against him, right? "He's isolated on this". The flight suggested that North Korea had mastered the technology to be able to reach Alaska with a missile.

Veselnitskaya said on July 19 that she was ready to testify before the US Senate if she gets security guarantees. Veselnitskaya was reported to have links to the Kremlin, an allegation she has flatly denied.
When North Korea test-launched a second intercontinental ballistic missile (ICBM) last Friday, it proved beyond doubt that it has the capability to hit much of the western half of our nation with such a missile.
USA officials have been sounding the alarm on North Korea's nuclear ambitions in recent months and the Trump administration has urged China to put pressure on Pyongyang to curb its nuclear program.
McMaster also said there has been "no aggression" from the United States or its allies in the region and expressed ambivalence regarding regime change.
However, McMaster said it was impossible to tell whether removing Kim would cause the regime to collapse, saying the inner workings of the government "is nearly impossible to predict".
