TILLERSON: "I think what the president is doing is he’s trying to motivate action on a number of people’s part, in particular, the regime in North Korea. I think he does want to be clear with Kim Jong-un and that regime in North Korea that he has military preparations ready to go. He has those military options on the table. We have spent substantial time actually perfecting those. But be clear, the president has also made clear to me that he wants this solved diplomatically. He’s not seeking to go to war... No, sir. He has made it clear to me to continue my diplomatic efforts, which we are and we will — as I’ve told others, those diplomatic efforts will continue until the first bomb drops."
