North Korea’s recent missile tests have shown to the rest of the world that Kim Jong-un’s hermit country is not planning to take a diplomatic approach with the United States of America. The growing tension between Washington and Pyongyang is escalating with each passing day but according to U. S. Defense Secretary Jim Mattis, North Korea’s intercontinental ballistic missile (ICMB) with a nuclear warhead is still incapable of reaching the mainland USA. However, test results from last month’s missile launch apparently show that the missiles fired from North Korea can reach the mainland USA.
Defense Secretary Jim Mattis said American analysts are working on understanding North Korea’s November 29 launch, but he does not believe Kim’s ICBM posed an imminent threat to the United States of America.
Mattis, however, did not reveal what was lacking in North Korea’s missiles, but other nuclear and missile experts have questioned the ICBM’s re-entry capabilities from space into the Earth’s atmosphere.
President Donald Trump revealed that there are many options when it comes to handling North Korea and the threat it poses. However, Trump’s administration has made it clear that America would prefer to take diplomatic approach when it comes to dealing with Kim Jong-un’s hermit country.
