In rare meeting, White House briefs senators on North Korea threat


In a rare meeting, the Trump administration invited all 100 U.S. senators for a White House closed-door briefing on North Korea, as Pyongyang parades its nuclear might and the U.S. considers action. The unusual meeting reflected the increased American alarm over North Korea's progress in developing a nuclear-tipped missile that could strike the U.S. mainland. He said any North Korean missile fired at U.S. forces would be destroyed. Instead, they've said the administration's strategy focuses on increasing pressure on North Korea with the help of its main trading partner, China. The U.S. says it will only target North Korean missiles, but China and Russia see the system's powerful radars as a security threat.
