"I'll cheer on our athletes, but I'll also be there to deliver a simple message: That the era of strategic patience is over," Pence said Friday at an event in Pittsburgh. "We'll make it clear that all options are on the table. And you can be confident we will continue to bring all economic and diplomatic pressure to bear until North Korea permanently abandons its nuclear and ballistic missile programs once and for all."
Friday, President Trump met with North Korean defectors and said despite the first talks between North and South Korea in two years, time is running out. "You know, we ran out of road. You know the expression? The road really ended," Trump said, as he once again blamed previous administrations for failing to stop North Korea’s nuclear program before it could threaten the U.S. "They could've done it 12 years ago. They could've done it 20 years ago. They could've done it four years ago, and two years ago. We have no road left."
North Korea is planning a big military parade in the days before the opening ceremonies Friday that is expected to showcase its newest intercontinental ballistic missiles, including the Hwasong-14 first tested last July, and the heavier, longer-range Hwasong-15 tested in November.
