SEOUL - The United States will go to war with North Korea if it fires missiles at Guam, Defense Secretary Jim Mattis said Monday, issuing another strong warning to the nuclear armed regime. "We'll know if it's going towards Guam within moments," Mattis said of the missiles, on an unannounced visit to the Pentagon's press room. "I think if they fire at the United States, it could escalate into war very quickly. If the missiles land in waters short of Guam, the decision will be left to President Donald Trump, he added. In an unusually strong rhetoric last week, Trump said the North would experience "fire and fury" if it continued to threaten the United States.
