Close to war with North Korea?

White House national security adviser HR McMaster has said that the potential for war with is North Korea is growing each day due to its nuclear programme.

McMaster said that the communist nation has become “the greatest immediate threat to the united states.

While addressing the audience in California, he said: “I think it’s increasing every day, which means that we are in a race, really, we are in a race to be able to solve this problem,” reported media.

McMaster made the statement after he was asked if the chance of war had increased with North Korea after the country launched an intercontinental ballistic missile.

He, however, assured that President Trump is committed to the complete denuclearization of the Korean Peninsula.
