President Donald Trump said that talks with North Korea won’t help after Secretary of State Rex Tillerson revealed that the United States has three lines of direct communication with the communist regime.

“I told Rex Tillerson, our wonderful Secretary of State, that he is wasting his time trying to negotiate with Little Rocket Man ... ...Save your energy Rex, we'll do what has to be done!,” Trump said in a pair of Tweets on Sunday in response to Tillerson’s comments in Beijing the day before.
