US Secretary of Defense Jim Mattis toured the demilitarized zone dividing North and South Korea on Friday, October 27.

Speaking beside Republic of Korea Minister of National Defense, Song Young-moo, Mattis said, “North Korean provocations continue to threaten regional and world peace and despite unanimous condemnation by the United Nations’ Security Council they still proceed,” he said.

He added that US Secretary of State Rex Tillerson had made clear that “our goal is not war, but rather the complete, verifiable and irreversible denuclearization of the Korean peninsula.” Credit: American Forces Network Pacific/DVIDS via Storyful
