North Korea’s persistently aggressive rhetoric against the United States would spark an all-out response from President Donald Trump in case of an attack.
But Mr Chaffetz said President Trump’s decision to visit with President Vladimir Putin during his tour of Asia could help smooth the relationship with Russia, pushing the country and China to exercise their calming influence on their rogue neighbour.
Speaking to Fox News, he said: “Look, we need to improve the relationship. They, the Russians, also touch North Korea – if you look at the map: obviously I think the Chinese have the biggest influence but the Russians are also right there in the region.
“You want them to understand that we are going to what it takes to protect the security of the United States of America. I don’t think the Russians and the Chinese like seeing three carrier groups, they don’t like to see the THAAD missile system in place.
“There’s a lot of things they don’t like to see. There’s a way to solve that if they can take down the temperature and the blood pressure of what is going on in North Korea.”
North Korea has upped its hostile approach against the US and its Asian allies, sparking fears World War 3 could be declared at any moment.
Mr Trump is expected to use his visit to four key Asian countries to create a united front against Kim Jong-un and ask Mr Putin to join the leaders of Japan and South Korea in pressing China to do more to reign in the trigger-happy despot.
