The top U.S. military commander in the Pacific warned the situation in North Korea is a “recipe for disaster,” as the region prepares for Donald Trump’s first visit to the region as president.
Admiral Harry Harris, head of the U.S. Pacific Command, said in a speech on Tuesday in Singapore that China must do more to pressure its neighbor and ally over its weapons programs. The U.S. government will continue to be presented with military options for dealing with Kim Jong Un, he said, although he added a diplomatic solution remains the priority.
