Vice President Mike Pence told CNN’s Dana Bash the policy of “strategic patience” practiced by prior administrations in dealing with North Korea has demonstrably failed during an interview from the Demilitarized Zone (DMZ) on Monday.
“It was the policy of the United States of America during prior administrations to practice what they called ‘strategic patience,’ that was to hope to marshal international support to bring an end to the nuclear ambitions and the ballistic missile program of North Korea,” Pence said. “That clearly has failed.”
Bash pushed him for clarity on what policy prescriptions would be implemented in replace of strategic patience, asking if military action would be necessary.
