US prepared to 'compel the denuclearisation' of North Korea, says Trump national security adviser HR McMaster

The US is willing to “compel” North Korea to abandon its nuclear weapons programme, Donald Trump’s national security adviser has said. H R McMaster reiterated the US President’s assertion that “all options” were open to Washington when it came to confronting the Kim regime’s rapidly advancing missile programme. “We want the resolution to be peaceful, but as the president has said, all options are on the table and we have to be prepared, if necessary, to compel the denuclearisation of North Korea without the cooperation of that regime.
