Tillerson and Mattis are reportedly trying to hold Trump back from striking North Korea

(8.1.2018)
President Donald Trump‘s secretaries of state and defense are trying to persuade him not to strike North Korea, while his national security adviser is pushing for a „bloody nose“ attack, according to recent reports in The Telegraph and The Wall Street Journal.
Rex Tillerson, the secretary of state, has reportedly been key in pushing for peace, but he may be on his way out.
A US strike would mean it implicitly trusts that North Korea‘s leader, Kim Jong Un, wouldn‘t escalate it into an all-out war that could kill millions.
