THE US has revealed how it will secure Kim Jong-un’s nuclear arsenal if war breaks out with North Korea.

By Tom Towers /

Tensions have ratcheted between the hermit kingdom and its enemies this year after a series of reckless missile tests.

US President Donald Trump and Kim have engaged in a fiery war of words, with each threatening nuclear destruction.

Secretary of State Rex Tillerson has now outlined the US’ strategy in dealing with the regime.

He said US troops would invade North Korea but not occupy the country.

    Tillerson claimed the US and China “have had conversations about in the event that something happened – it could happen internally to North Korea, it might be nothing that we from outside initiate.

    “If that unleashed some kind on instability, the most important thing to us would be securing those nuclear weapons they’ve already developed and ensuring that nothing falls into the hands of people we would not want to have.”

    Beijing and Washington officials have now met to discuss the collapse of the North Korean regime.

    This marks a major shift in foreign policy for China, which had previously seen the regime as an ally.

      Tillerson added: “We have had conversations that if something happened and we had to go across a line, we have given the Chinese assurances we would go back and retreat back to the south of the 38th parallel.”

      Mark Fitzpatrick, executive director of the International Institute for Strategic Studies office in Washington, warned China and the US could still clash over the nukes.

      He told Newsweek: “Just as the US and South Korea have an operational war plan to seize the weapons, so presumably does China.

        “To avoid any potential conflict in achieving this mission, the US has repeatedly sought prior consultation and co-ordination with China, which has refused.

        “So a clash over the arsenal remains a real possibility.”

        Kim fired a ballistic missile into Japanese waters last month, the North’s first weapons test in weeks.

          The regime bragged it was capable of hitting the US mainland as it announced the “completion” of its nuclear weapons programme.

          Japan is now readying new weapons to protect against “surprise attacks”.

          Defence bosses met in Tokyo yesterday as they agreed to purchase Aegis Ashore missile interceptors from the US.
