State Department spokesperson Heather Nauert responded Wednesday to criticism of President Donald Trump's aggressive rhetoric on North Korea and of the Trump administration not being on the same page toward Pyongyang.
Nauert said the entire administration is not only the same page, but the world spoke with one voice to North Korea when the United Nations Security Council imposed its newest sanctions on the rogue country.
When asked at the State Department press briefing who in the U.S. government the world should listen to, Nauert said all agencies are on the same page. She then broadened the discussion to the entire world.
"Well, I think the United States, and some of you may disagree with this, but the United States is on the same page," Nauert said. "Whether it's the White House, the State Department, the Department of Defense, we are speaking with one voice and the world is in fact speaking with one voice. And we saw that as it came out of the U.N. Security Council with the resolution that passed less than a week ago."
Nauert then said that Secretary of State Rex Tillerson explained Trump's "fire and fury" comments as the only way North Korean leader Kim Jong-un would truly understand America's position on his country's aggressive behavior.
