THE time to deal with the nuclear threat of North Korea is “running out”, a US security expert has warned.

The warning was issued by Herbert Raymond McMaster, a United States Army officer who is National Security Advisor under President Donald Trump.
He also called for action, adding: “We are running out of time to deal with North Korea. The strategy of ‘accept and deter’ is unacceptable.”
McMaster said Trump won’t allow North Korean to have nuclear weapons and denuclearisation is the only acceptable objective.
This comes as USS Ronald Reagan, a nuclear-powered aircraft carrier, patrolled in waters east of the Korean peninsula today in a show of power designed to warn off North Korea from any military action.
The US Navy’s biggest warship in Asia, with a crew of 5,000 sailors, sailed around 100 miles, launching almost 90 F-18 Super Hornets from its deck, in sight of South Korean islands.
It is conducting drills with the South Korean navy involving 40 warships deployed in a line stretching from the Yellow Sea west of the peninsula into the Sea of Japan.
“The dangerous and aggressive behaviour by North Korea concerns everybody in the world,” Rear Admiral Marc Dalton, commander of the Reagan’s strike group, said.
“We have made it clear with this exercise, and many others, that we are ready to defend the Republic of Korea.”
North Korea has slammed the warship gathering as a “rehearsal for war”.
