Helvetica, sans-serif;color: #000000\">US and South Korea set to discuss MILITARY EFFORTS against Kim Jong-un<\/span><\/strong><\/span><\/h2>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\"><span style=\"font-size: 14pt;font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;color: #000000\">US and South Korea set to discuss MILITARY EFFORTS against Kim Jong-un:- THE US and South Korea will discuss \u201cmilitary efforts\u201d against Kim Jong-un\u2019s regime when Donald Trump starts his tour of Asia on Sunday, it has been revealed.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\"><span style=\"font-size: 14pt;font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;color: #000000\">Herbert Raymond McMaster, the National Security advisor to the President, has stated that military options will be analysed in the Republican\u2019s upcoming meeting with South Korean leaders.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\"><span style=\"font-size: 14pt;font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;color: #000000\">He said: &#8220;It would be irresponsible not to talk about the potential for military efforts within the alliance.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\"><span style=\"font-size: 14pt;font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;color: #000000\">&#8220;The reason why that topic must be on the agenda is because of the behaviour of this rogue regime and the threat that Kim Jong-un poses.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\"><span style=\"font-size: 14pt;font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;color: #000000\">&#8220;The discussion will also be about what more can we do, what more can all countries do to resolve this short of war.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\"><span style=\"font-size: 14pt;font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;color: #000000\">&#8220;What we think is essential is to continue the diplomatic and economic isolation of the North Korean regime so that leaders within that regime recognise that this weapon, this pursuit of this destructive capability, is not making them more secure, it&#8217;s making them less secure, and to conclude that it is in their interest to begin denuclearisation.&#8221;<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\"><span style=\"font-size: 14pt;font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;color: #000000\">Despite the threats of military action that could lead to World War 3, Mr McMaster said that diplomacy is the US\u2019 first choice in dealing with the rogue nation.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\"><span style=\"font-size: 14pt;font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;color: #000000\">He added: &#8220;Diplomacy is our main effort now.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\"><span style=\"font-size: 14pt;font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;color: #000000\">\u201cBut it&#8217;s diplomacy with other countries who recognise the grave threat and who are working together.&#8221;<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\"><span style=\"font-size: 14pt;font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;color: #000000\">The advisor stated that a fundamental method of denuclearising the hermit kingdom will come from other nations imposing sanctions on the country to limit the resources available to continue with a dangerous nuclear programme.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\"><span style=\"font-size: 14pt;font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;color: #000000\">Mr McMaster targeted China, the country responsible for 90 per cent of North Korean trade, to dissolve its long-standing feud with South Korea over the erection of a US Terminal High Altitude Area Defence (THAAD) system.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\"><span style=\"font-size: 14pt;font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;color: #000000\">The advisor went on: &#8220;What&#8217;s important is that China is no longer punishing South Korea for defending itself, which I always thought didn&#8217;t make any sense.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\"><span style=\"font-size: 14pt;font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;color: #000000\">&#8220;What China may be realising as well is that it makes more sense, at least from our perspective, to prioritise its relationship with South Korea over its relationship with North Korea, which is not only a dangerous state but a failing state at the same time.&#8221;<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\"><span style=\"font-size: 14pt;font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;color: #000000\">Donald Trump will begin his tour of Asia on Sunday where he will visit Japan, South Korea, China, Vietnam and the Philippines.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\"><span style=\"font-size: 14pt;font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;color: #000000\">On November 7 Trump will meet the South Korean President Moon Jae-in as well as American and South Korean servicemen.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\"><span style=\"font-size: 14pt;font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;color: #000000\">The White House said: \u201cThe President will speak at the National Assembly, where he will celebrate the enduring alliance and friendship between the United States and the Republic of Korea, and call on the international community to join together in maximising pressure on North Korea.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size:
