Van Hollen: Trump Comments ‘Actually Enhances the North Korean Leader’

EXCERPT:

VAN HOLLEN: "Secretary Tillerson essentially walked that back and said that the United States would continue to defend itself and its allies against North Korea if North Korea took hostile action. That has been traditional American policy that we would respond with overwhelming force if North Korea initiated conflict and hostilities. But what the President did was dangerous, because it created this new possible red line, putting American credibility at stake. And I should say, Brooke, when you engage in this war of words with the North Korean leader, it actually enhances the North Korean leader. This is exactly what Kim Jong-un wants to see happen, and it diminishes the president of the United States."
