244	436678	is not the answer, writing, quote: South Korea is finding, as Ive told them, that their talk of appeasement with	North Korea	will not work. They understand only one thing. No word from the president on what that, quote, one thing is
244	436719	is. But I think it's only fair to say, Chris, that the White House has been pursuing in terms of	North Korea	policy has not been working either -- Chris. WALLACE: John Roberts, reporting from the White House -- John, thanks for that. Joining
244	436777	Secretary, I know that you have spoken with the president this morning. What is his reaction to the news that	North Korea	has tested another bomb, they say, a hydrogen bomb, but certainly its most powerful explosive in its 10-12 years
244	436830	did speak with the president, and it's clear that this behavior is completely unacceptable. We've already started with sanctions against	North Korea	, but Im going to draft a sanctions package to send to the president for his strong consideration, that anybody that
244	436888	with us. We are going to work with our allies. Well work with China. But people need to cut off	North Korea	economically. This is unacceptable behavior. WALLACE: Does that mean, when you talk about a new trade sanction package, that were
244	436991	to do business with the United States, they obviously will be working with our allies and others to cut off	North Korea	economically. WALLACE: I know it's early, at this point, Mr. Secretary. But first of all, do we believe the Chinese
244	437199	conversation with the president, did he explain what that one thing is? And the president has been talking about warning	North Korea	not to reach a tipping point which would unleash the fire and fury of the U.S. Are we getting closer
244	437456	he consider doing that at a time when we need to work with South Korea to face the threat from	North Korea	? MNUCHIN: Well, Chris, the president has made clear that when we had trade deficits with countries, were going to renegotiate
244	441194	to the negotiating table with a view, to begin a dialogue on a different future or Korean peninsula and for	North Korea	. (END VIDEO CLIP) WALLACE: Secretary of State Rex Tillerson last week here on "Fox News Sunday" pushing for a diplomatic

244	441390	in this program, talked about new sanctions with anybody doing business with North Korea. Well, the main trading partner with	North Korea	is China. And it will be very interesting to see how far this administration takes those types of sanctions. But
244	441476	up on that with you as a veteran of the State Department. Your reaction to what has happened today in	North Korea	? And to be fair, your president and George W. Bush and Bill Clinton all tried and they have all failed
244	441500	be fair, your president and George W. Bush and Bill Clinton all tried and they have all failed to stop	North Korea	from pursuing its nuclear ambitions MARIE HARF, FORMER STATE DEPARTMENT SPOKESPERSON: That's right. And North Korea has shown that no
244	441516	all failed to stop North Korea from pursuing its nuclear ambitions MARIE HARF, FORMER STATE DEPARTMENT SPOKESPERSON: That's right. And	North Korea	has shown that no amount of international isolation has -- has dissuaded them from pursuing this program. So many administrations have
244	441611	we need to stand shoulder to shoulder with them. We need to focus on the real threat here, which is	North Korea	. And, to be fair, the South Korean trade agreement's a pretty good one. The president's tweet this morning about appeasement
244	441687	our allies because, as I said, there are certainly no good military options. We had to make it clear to	North Korea	that if they do anything like attacking the U.S., that their regime will be destroyed. And I think the president
244	441803	better, making sure the South Koreans and the Japanese have what they need to defend themselves. And making clear to	North Korea	that this is not acceptable. And making sure the American people understand the real threat here, not an expiratory rhetoric
244	441961	far tougher than anything North Korean has been under. So the president isn't saying -- isn't accurate when he's saying that	North Korea	is more isolated than any other country ever has been. I do agree, now is not the right time to
244	442032	Korea. South Korea and President Moon had talked about restarting the Kaesong industrial complex. This was a joint South Korea-	North Korea	industrial complex that was started about 20 years ago. It was -- it was -- the expansion of it was stopped in
244	442233	I mean Bill Clinton actually, during his presidency, agreed on a package of giving $4 billion in energy aid to	North Korea	. That ended up not happening. President Obama asked South -- asked his military to work together with South Korea to prepare
244	442263	South -- asked his military to work together with South Korea to prepare for a potential attack. George W. Bush called	North Korea	the axis of evil, or part of the axis of evil. So you've heard rhetoric like this. You've heard words
244	442338	is it going? WALLACE: And what's the answer? MASON: Well, the answer is, we had to see what happens with	North Korea	and see what happens with China. President Trump has certainly working very hard to build a relationship with President Xi
244	442433	key partner. CHAFFETZ: But I -- I don't -- I don't think sanctions would ever work. I don't think the president of	North Korea	cares about its -- his people. He is only focused on obtaining nuclear capability -- WALLACE: OK, let me interrupt for a

244	451963	meaningful prelude" to containing Guam, the home of major U.S. military facilities, and more ballistic missile tests targeting the Pacific.	North Korea	has conducted five nuclear tests since 2006, including two last year. The first of those tests involved what it claims
244	452005	to have been a hydrogen bomb and the second was its most powerful ever. The key question is how far	North Korea	has gotten in efforts to consistently shrink down nuclear warheads so they can fit on long-range missiles. South Korea's

North Korea	said on Sunday it detonated a hydrogen bomb, possibly triggering an artificial earthquake and prompting immediate condemnation from its neighbors

244	452704	a South Korean defense official told the country's Yonhap News Agency. Albright said it will still be a challenge for	North Korea	to develop an ICBM that could hold a hydrogen bomb. "But they know how to scare us," Albright said. President
244	452743	Albright said. President Trump condemned the test on Twitter Sunday morning, calling the rogue nation's actions "very hostile and dangerous." "	North Korea	has conducted a major Nuclear Test. Their words and actions continue to be very hostile and dangerous to the United

244	452992	had declined to comment when Fox News asked if the Pentagon was seeing evidence of an upcoming nuclear test in	North Korea	. The previous day, before sitting next to his South Korean counterpart, Mattis said "We are not out of diplomatic options
244	453048	it was a "flagrant violation of multiple U.N. Security Council resolutions." U.S. Secretary of State Rex Tillerson had recently said	North Korea	was showing "restraint" in its recent actions. "Pyongyang has certainly demonstrated some level of restraint that weve not seen in
244	453090	the past," he said at the State Department. In April, Tillerson told Fox News' Bret Baier that China had asked	North Korea	not to conduct any more nuclear tests. Were asking a lot of the Chinese, Tillerson said at the time. We
244	453126	Tillerson said at the time. We are going to test Chinas willingness to help address this serious threat. Torrid pace	North Korea	conducted two nuclear tests last year and has since maintained a torrid pace in weapons tests, including flight-testing developmental
244	453371	H-bomb with "super explosive power" that "is adjustable from tens (of) kiloton to hundreds (of) kiloton." Jump in progress	North Korea	in July conducted its first ever ICBM tests, part of a stunning jump in progress for the country's nuclear and
244	453514	missile tests targeting the Pacific. Vipin Narang, an MIT professor specializing in nuclear strategy, said it's important to note that	North Korea	was only showing a mockup of a two-stage thermonuclear device, or H-bomb. "We won't know what they have

244	688788	leadership role in the developing world, and the test was a striking intrusion. Residents of Chinese cities and towns bordering	North Korea	reported feeling shock waves from the blast. Its long been suspected that the North Koreans were designing this [nuclear and
244	688831	program not only to keep the Americans out, but also to send signals to the Chinese, said Robert Kelly, a	North Korea	expert and professor at Pusan National University in South Korea. They dont want to become a satellite state, like East

244	689114	and could have a drastic effect on the global economy. Earlier, Trump tweeted that South Koreas talk of appeasement with	North Korea	will not work. The administration has found itself with the same buffet of dismal options as its predecessors. Any attack
244	689180	only go so far. Trump, who has alternately chastised China for its limited response and praised it, tweeted Sunday that	North Korea	has become a great threat and embarrassment to China, which is trying to help but with little success. Treasury Secretary
