During their November meeting in Beijing, United States President Donald Trump and General Secretary Xi Jinping stated their commitment to denuclearizing North Korea. Since then, the Trump administration has been sending signals that the U.S. is serious about going into North Korea if the Kim Jong Un regime forces the situation: U.S. National Security Advisor H.R. McMaster said in an interview [4] that the probability of war with North Korea is “increasing every day.†American F-22 and F-35 fighter jets participated in a large-scale joint military exercise with South Korea.
