US Defense Secretary Jim Mattis wants to push the message that Washington is steadfast in its backing of the Asia-Pacific region.
The Hill: Mattis: US must 'remain vigilant' toward countries pursuing nukes
Defense Secretary James Mattis on Friday warned that the United States must “remain vigilant” toward other countries seeking nuclear weapons.
Mattis praised this week's historic summit in Singapore between President Trump and North Korean leader Kim Jong Un as a “possible new avenue to peace,” but cautioned against possible threats.
The summit proves “the past does not have to define the future," Mattis said during a sprawling speech at the Naval War College graduation ceremony in Rhode Island, drawing from Trump’s comments at the meeting.
“But while a possible new avenue to peace now exists with North Korea, we remain vigilant regarding pursuit of nuclear weapons anywhere in the world,” Mattis added.
During the summit Tuesday, Trump and Kim signed a joint statement committing “to work toward complete denuclearization of the Korean Peninsula."
