McMaster: Trump’s ‘Made Clear’ We Won’t Accept Nuclear Threat from ‘Hostile’ North Korea

RUSH EXCERPT: 
MCMASTER: "Thank you, Martha. It’s a privilege to be with you. The latest missile test fits into a pattern of provocative behavior on the part of the north Korean regime. Think there’s an international consensus now, including the Chinese. The Chinese leadership that this is a situation that just can’t continue. And the president has made clear that he’ll not accept the united States and its allies and partners in the region being under threat from this hostile regime with nuclear weapons. We’re working together with our allies and partners. And with the Chinese leadership to develop range of options. And, the president has asked the national Security Council to integrate the efforts of the department of defense, state, intelligence agencies to provide options and have them ready for him if this pattern of destabilizing behavior continues and if the north Korean regime refuses to denuclearize. Which is the accepted objective of the United States and Chinese leadership as well as our allies in the region."
RADDATZ: "I want to go back to the missile if I could for a moment. Apparent lirks it was a medium-range ballistic missile. Can you talk about what we with saw in the parade and the missiles they showed there? Was it an icbm?"
MCMASTER: "I don’t know. I’ve not been in touch with our intelligence community on that. I would defer to our intelligence communities and the department of defense on that particular question. Of course, the purpose of that parade is to sort of demonstrate military prowess in a threatening way. And so whether those weapons are real or fake is — is unclear. I think, to at least — I saw it on television, lie you did, no, you saw it better than I did. I think you were close by."
