Pence to N. Korea: ‘Era of Strategic Patience Is Over’

‘We’re going to abandon the failed policy of strategic patience’

EXCERPT:

BASH: "You said that the era of patience — strategic patience is over. What does that mean in real terms?”
PENCE: “It was the policy of the United States of America during prior administrations to practice what they called strategic patience. That was to hope to marshal international support to bring an end to the nuclear ambitions and the ballistic missile program of North Korea. That clearly has failed. And the — the advent of nuclear weapons testing, a development of a nuclear program, even this — this weekend to see another attempt at a ballistic missile launch. All confirms the fact that strategic patience has failed.”
