McMaster attempted to make clear Sunday that President Trump is seeking international support in trying to stop North Korea’s pursuit of a nuclearize weapon, reasserting Trump’s vow that the U.S. will no longer be the world’s policeman. "It may mean ratcheting up those sanctions even further, and it also means being prepared for military operations if necessary," he said. Trump has, since in office, attempted to form alliances with world leaders to solve such global crises as the Syrian civil war and the North Korea nuclear threat, including an outreach to China President XI Jinping. He said world leaders could enforce existing economic sanctions, impose additional ones or possibly military action. McMaster said China, essential to North Korea’s economy, has shown a “willingness to act and resolve this conflict short of military conflict.”
