Tillerson: U.S. ready to talk with North Korea
"(We are) ready to talk anytime they'd like to talk, but they have to come to the table with a view they want to make a different choice," he told a forum here.
Tensions have escalated in the wake of North Korea's latest test of an intercontinental ballistic missile it claims is capable of delivering a nuclear weapon to all parts of the U.S.
"In the meantime, our military preparedness is strong," Tillerson noted.
The top diplomat said he will continue diplomatic efforts with North Korea "until the first bomb drops" and is confident he will be successful.
If necessary, U.S. Defense Secretary Jim Mattis will take action and he will also be successful, Tillerson added.
