U.S. Secretary of State Rex Tillerson said Sunday he holds out hope for talks with nuclear-armed North Korea despite its "provocative act" Saturday of firing three short-range missiles.
"We are going to continue our peaceful pressure campaign as I have described that working with allies, working with China as well, to see if we can bring the regime in Pyongyang to the negotiating table, with a view to begin a dialogue on the different future for (the) Korean Peninsula and for North Korea," Tillerson said on "Fox News Sunday."
Tillerson said Saturday's launches were a violation of U.N. Security Council resolutions, "and we do view it as a provocative act, a provocative act against the United States and our allies."
